The realization that since they cannot speak for themselves, animals are being exploited with almost no laws truly protecting them, this is especially true for factory farming. Another cause is the realization that black people are not put on this earth white people, women do not belong to men, and animals are not meant for humans.

What is the differences between animal rights and animal welfare?
"Animal welfare" is about general health conditions based upon experience and expectations. "Animal rights" is a politically energized concept based upon an aggenda for acquiring power. Please see discussion area Most animal welfarists argue that the animal rights view goes too far, and do not advocate the elimination of all animal use or companionship. They may believe that humans have a moral responsibility not to cause cruelty (unnecessary suffering) to animals. Animal rights advocates, such as Gary L. Francione and Tom Regan, argue that the animal welfare position (advocating for the betterment of the condition of animals, but without abolishing animal use: see veganism) is logically inconsistent and ethically unacceptable. However, there are some animal rights groups, such as PETA, which support animal welfare measures in the short term to alleviate animal suffering until all animal use is ended

Is animal rights better than animal welfare?
Animal rights is equating an animal's right to life to that of humankind. Animal welfare is simply requiring an animal to not have to endure as much pain, however it still disregards that animal's right to live it's own natural life. Animal rights would require respect to each individual animal as compared to animal welfare, which only requires respect to the animal's physical being.

What agencies represent the welfare and rights of animals?
Two groups who represent animal "rights" are PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and HSUS (Humane Society of the United States). A group who represents animal "welfare" is: ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Many animal rescue organizations also represent animal welfare. Though the terms "rights" and "welfare" are often used interchangeably, they represent two totally different philosophies. It is often difficult to distinguish what is an animal rights organization and one whose goals are animal welfare. Even while searching for groups to list here, I found animal rights groups included in a list that was supposed to be animal welfare groups. Animal welfare seeks to have animals, whether family pets, farm animals, animals used for experimentation, or others, treated in a humane manner. Animal rights is a movement that goes far beyond animal welfare by seeking protection for animals from being considered human property and elevating animals to the same level as humans. When distinguishing between animal welfare and animal rights organizations, those are the main points I look for, though my answer is simplified greatly and the issues between animal welfare and rights is much more complex than presented here.

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.
