Animals Are Friends!!

The fact that there are people out there who believe that animals shouldn't have rights, completely baffles me. We're forced to coexist with these things...they might look a lot different than humans, but they DO feel, which is basically proven in Victoria Braithwaite's "Hooked on a Myth". I understand the fact that people like to hunt and fish and all of that, which isn't completely awful, but there definitely is a line. Everything in moderation, nothing in excess. I feel like because we can't hear what animals have to say about, well, anything, we fail to consider the fact that they are moving, breathing organisms who have family's and homes and feel hurt just like we do. Just like humans do. So yeah. Animals definitely should have certain rights, because if we could hear them, I'm sure they'd have a lot to say to the people who don't think they should.
