Question

Animals have just as much right to live free from pain and cruelty as we do?

Answer 1

Animals have the right to live unimpeded from the developments and interference of man in carrying out their efforts to survive.

To a zebra a pair of lions taking it down and ending its life must seem (from the zebra's perspective) cruel and painful, but this is the very nature of "nature".

I think what you are asking is if we should reduce our impact on the various ecosystems across the globe so they behave as if man wasn't present.  I agree with this for the most part, but think that environmental factors from all aspects of considerations must be taken into account when we look at what is considered "painful and cruel".

Answer 2

You're d**n right they do!  People who think otherwise are idiots!

Answer 3

KILL THE ANIMALS, EAT SOME CHICKEN!!!

Answer 4

Yah, I think so but your question doesn't really make sense. NO offense.

Answer 5

Shall we all become vegetarians? Animal cruelty is a deviation from the norm and a serious illness. Yet still we do it to put meat on the table. Hunters with guns or bow and arrow? Slaughter houses? Trappers? This is a way of life and the way we humans live as we sit back and pet our dogs and cats.

Answer 6

We are all God's creations and therefore neither the animals nor we humans have the right to be cruel.

Answer 7

would that be the ones we eat, or just use a play things?

Answer 8

Yes!! they do..and i did a speech on this for one of my classes!

Animals have emotion and feel pain just like us, so why should animal cruelty be accepted?

Their only disadvantage is that they can't talk...i bet if they could, they'd have a lot to say!!
