We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. Albert Schweitzer, I have chosen to do the option 1 reading packet which will be addressing animal rights. My paper will be focusing on finding ways to reinforce animal rights. Working on this ethics paper and wrestling with my animal rights topic is important because it gives me a chance to talk for the animals and to input all the things that Ive learned in this class so far into my paper. With this paper, I am going to be talking about how animals and
humans are no different but in order to live there are some things that humans must do to animals that will be considered cruel to some people. It is not always what we want to do but what we need to do in order to protect and watch out for ourselves. Making decisions to hurt animals to benefit ourselves may be challenging but if we do not hunt and kill cows, pigs, or even chickens how will we be able to eat meat or use other parts of their bodies for our clothes and other necessities? In my paper, I will have at least 5 articles that I will cite throughout my paper to help back up my ethical dilemma about animal rights. I will begin my paper by talking about the major issues that I found most of the authors arguing about in reference to the articles that I chose to cite in my paper.
