How does animal welfare help animals?

Answer 1

Animal welfare means having the well being of animals in mind and doing what needs to be done for the animals. People who love animals will devote time and money to make the lives of animals better.

Answer 2

Animal rights is the belief that animals deserve rights to life, liberty, and happiness. Rather than decrease human rights, animal rights supporters want to give animals more rights. This doesn't mean that your dog should be able to vote or get married, however. As People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) puts it, animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. The most liberal animal rights activists work towards vegetarianism and veganism (not using animal products like milk); they also advocate that people refuse to wear leather and fur. Some people point out that many animals are carnivores; if humans are at least equal to other animals, then eating meat is perfectly normal and appropriate. In regions where people must hunt for their food, this is true. However, most meat sold in grocery stores and supermarkets is produced in "factory farms," which run in the cheapest, most efficient way possible, with no regard for the animals. This means that animals which should be peacefully grazing in a pasture are crowded into filthy pens, castrated without painkillers or anesthesia, strung up upside down, and gutted while they are alive and able to feel pain, among other atrocities. Chickens and turkeys are drugged so that they are so big they can barely stand. The leather and fur industries are equally inhumane. Humans are omnivores, and many synthetic materials are available for clothing: we do not have to support the cruelty associated with meat, leather, and fur. Animal rights activists are also often against rodeos and circuses which use animals, because these animals are subjected to painful training and miserable lives. Animal rights is different from animal welfare, which is the view that people can use animals for our benefit, as long as we treat them as humanely as possible. Visit PETA.org for more information on this subject, as well as videos graphically demonstrating the cruelty of factory farms, puppy mills, vivisection, and entertainment involving animals.

Answer 3
