Animal Rights
There have been many arguments towards animal rights. Many state that all animals should be
treated with a certain level of respect. Any being that is subject of a life, deserves to be treated as
such, i.e. not simply a means to an end. Many argue that animals are essential to keeping a
balanced diet, mainly the protein that that they offer. The fact is, there are plenty more effect,
energy efficient ways of obtaining these proteins, such as grains, nuts, beans, and eggs. Many
think animals are perfect for experimentation, as it reduces human risks. While true, there should
be a limit to what is experimented on them. This is not to say that we should treat animals with
the same respect we do our fellow man. Simply we should treat them with the level of equality
