Animal rights
I don't particularly like the the topic of animal rights because it is so complex. If you say certain animals should have more rights where do we stop? Should all animals have these rights and if not where do we draw the line? People say that animals don't have mortality or feel pain but that was proven wrong so are they human. I believe that animals should have rights but to a certain extent. They are animals not humans therefore they should not be declared as humans but the way animals are treated is not right. They should not be subjected to painful experiments or be put in horrible living conditions before they are slaughtered. I feel like we forget that animals do feel pain and they aren't just property we can throw around. I don't think that we should stop eating animals because I think that is just part of the food chain but we should at least not treat them so badly.

Adriana, I agree with everything you just wrote. Humans have and always will remain on the top of the food chain. That's jut how it goes, so things won't be changing anytime soon or even ever. The treatment of animals, however, is something that is questionable. Like you said "where should we stop?" Should we go as far to say that animals should be allowed rights all the same as humans? Would we all of a sudden stop fishing and eating meat, attempt lab experiments on each other? Are we going to start boxing up humans and pay to see them in a "zoo"? There isn't a pen to draw a line because nobody can make up which one they want to use.
