types meaning philosophies?
There is a common confusion between the idea of animal welfare and animal rights. Animal welfare is the idea that animals should be treated humanely, but humans should have the right to use them for their own advancement and benefit. Animal rights and animal welfare are entirely different.
Within the concepts of animal rights, there is specieism, painism, animal liberation, veganism, vegetarianism, and more. Animal rights activists will not share 100% of the same ethics, but in general they believe that animals should have the same basic rights as humans; the right to live without fear, pain, or violence. To live outside of captivity. To not be eaten. To be given respect, legal protection, etc.

Do animal rights activists fight for animal rights because of psychological egoism?
Not at all. Actually animal rights activists fighting for animal rights show obvious signs of altruism, although they might be misunderstood or misquoted such as what happened around the nomination of famous animal rights activist Cass Sustein in the Obama administration. Animal rights activists include all sentient beings in their moral concern.It is usually argued that those who don't understand rights cannot have rights. This is of course a major fallacy which would deny human infants rights just because they have no concept of rights.
