Animal Rights

             The animal rights movement was founded in the
             belief that a moral order exists in the universe and that within
             moral order animals and human being are equal. I think that animals share with humans the same capacity to experience pain and suffering, they are worthy of the same degree of moral consideration as is granted to humans. The purpose of my speech is not to tell you how to live your lives. Rather, it will offer advice about how you can integrate ways to help save animals lives into your everyday routines.
             We begin to see that animal cruelty is deeply embedded in our society, in the way we dress, the products we use, the ways we entertain ourselves, and even the way we eat. We don't allow to think about where the meat on our plates come from. About 92 million animals are slaughtered for human consumption in the United States every week. Most of these animals are raised of "factory farms" where they are kept cruelly overcrowded or confined to small cages. Animals are mutilated without painkillers. They are denied comfort, exercise, companionship, natural diets and other basic needs. In addition, cosmetics and other substances such as; bleach, shampoo or ink are tested in animals bodies and eyes. We as individual consumers should protect animals by giving up products that are tested in animals and animal products for food. Therefore, I believe that humans do not need to eat meat to obtain the nutrition necessary to sustain a healthy body. Besides, the consumption of animal products has been conclusively linked with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
