Animal Rights Essay (Journal #2) Every single human being deserves legal rights, but animals may not need them at all. Animals are different from humans, they are either pets, wild animals or as food. Animals can still have human rights and choose for their own good, but it all depends on a few situations including food, pets, and abusive behaviour.

For example, if eating eggs are considered as animal abuse and that baby chicks shouldn’t be eaten, then the world population would eventually die off, because then every meat and fish you eat will consider as animal abuse.

The mother obviously cannot take care of eight to ten new born animals, so having this right is impossible. For instance, if a mother dog had seven puppies, how could she nurture them? Dogs are not wild animals, so they
