Explanation:
Animal rights means that animals deserve certain kinds of consideration—consideration of what is in their best interests, regardless of whether they are “cute,” useful to humans, or an endangered species and regardless of whether any human cares about them at all.
Human beings must not do those things, even if they do them in a humane way. For example: if animals have a right not to be bred and killed for food then animals must not be bred and killed for food. Accepting the doctrine of animal rights means: No experiments on animals.
Animal welfare is important because there are so many animals around the world suffering from being used for entertainment, food, medicine, fashion, scientific advancement, and as exotic pets. Every animal deserves to have a good life where they enjoy the benefits of the Five Domains.
