I agree. That doesn't mean we have any right to abuse them in any way, but we do have the right to
use them for our benefit (if we really need it). |

No they don't - they don't need to, animals are usually better protected by our conciounces than
other people. |

We are superior to animals and therefore should be able to treat them how we please.A lion kills a
gazelle because it can and because it nourishes it just like we kill animals because we can and for
hunting.Oh, and foxwolf, sure your dog may outsmart a 4 year old but will be outsmarted by a 7 year
old. |

Humans are superior to animals. We are smarter and have opposable thumbs, so therefore we get to
control animals. |

I agree. There seems to be some belief that just because we are sentient, that some how entitles us
to have more rights than animals. For example, scientists gladly tried 277 times just to produce one
cloned sheep. However, if you start talking about human cloning suddenly everyone objects. |

I think that animals are like humans we are both animals right? Its just humans are more
sophisticated than animals and we humans should not take it out on animals! |

What is this about? The attitude that humans are superior or Anything or Anyone is superior to
another is ridiculous. God made everything equal, doesn't want to control anything, the human ego
does. I think animals are much more together. They don't complain about everything, no agenda, no
greed or hatred. Humans just think God thinks like they do. That's why our planet is doomed.
Humanity needs Humility. |

Very true indeed, animals are there for the humans to benefit from, but this does not mean that we
treat them any different to how we treat our brothers and sisters because they too are living beings
and deserve their independence and respect. |

Humans have dominion over every other species on the planet. We are the ones with consciousness, the
ability to make tools, more advanced hunting techniques, a soul (if you take the Christian point of
view, which I don't but am merely pointing out) and in this position we can do whatever we want with
animals. Obviously, I am against downright animal cruelty, but if we have to test on animals to
develop a groundbreaking medicine that will save thousands of lives then I wouldn't have any qualms
about it. |

Great point there carl, animals don't have the same rights as us. They can't even voice their own
opinion. The needs of humans as superior beings are much greater than that of animals. |

BOOOO! My dog is smarter than a small child
shouldn't she have the same rights? |

Humans are just animals who happened to evolve larger brains than everything else while other
animals evolved to be faster, stronger, etc.
We really can't say that we are superior because when it comes right down to it, a bear is gonna
destroy you if you have no machine guns in your hands.
Animals shouldn't have ridiculous rights like the right to vote, but they should have a right to
live and be left alone.

No! Many people think that we evolved anyway, and if we evolved then they are more important because
they were first and we are a form of them.
Oops meant to put on other side |

As an atheist and passionate animal lover I believe that animals not only have rights, but deserve
the same respect and rights that a human being does. Were all here on this little sand grain of a
planet on a huge beach called the universe, why do humans think they are the most important. If
anything all other animals are far more important to this planet then our species is. What have we
contributed to the up keep of this planet? |

Animals have just as much rights as human. God did not intend for man to have domination over
animals. He did not have intentions for man to have domination over anything in life. Animals are
perfectly capable of living on their own without human assistance. No human has the right to harm or
kill an animal. Only God can decide who lives and who dies. Animals do have rights and that is why
they have developed groups such as the ASPC who protect and uphold the rights of animals. I am not
an animal activist, but I do believe that animals have rights and should be treated with respect at
all times. |
