Animal right is one of the most controversial issues in the contemporary world. A number of
scholars have been discussing on whether the animals have rights like human beings or not. Through
this debate, their opinions can be put into three groups; those who deny animal moral status, those
who give some moral considerations to animals but deny them a fuller moral status, and those who
extend rights to animals. This paper then gives a general overview on ‘Do Animals have Rights?’ It
gives the meaning of the term “right” and explains whether the term right applies to animals too. It
also portrays a drama whereby animals complain against sufferings imposed on them by human
beings and a response given by a human being. It is also followed by philosophical debate on animal
rights: pro and cons arguments. The Christian perspective is not left out. Finally, the paper ends with
critical evaluations and conclusion. In evaluation of the debate on animal rights, the study found that,
animals deserve to be treated well based on the argument that they have rights as animals. The main
recommendation is that human beings should change their perception concerning animals by
respecting animal. |
