Concept Paper

Topic:Animal Welfare And Rights

Introduction

I. Introduction

Whether at home, on the farm, or at the dinner table, animals play an important role in everyday
human life. They serve as companions, a source of livelihood, entertainment, inspiration, and of course
food and clothing to people all across the world. Yet animals can and do exist independent from people
and, as living beings, they arguably have interests separate and apart from their utility to humanity. As
such, society is increasingly faced with legal, economic, and ethical dilemmas about the proper place for
animals and the extent to which their interests should be respected, even when those interests conflict
with what is best for humans. Recognition of these issues has given rise to a new social movement, one
that seeks to attain increased legal protections, and even the recognition of actual “rights”, for
nonhuman animals. Not surprisingly, this push has met with a considerable amount of criticism and
ridicule from those who believe that the cost of animal rights specifically, and increased protections
more generally, is a corresponding reduction in human freedom.

Purpose

Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by
other terms such as animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment. Protecting an animal's
welfare means providing for its physical and mental needs.As such, animals should not be used by
humans for any purpose. Advocates of animal welfare believe that non-human animals should be
treated humanely and without unnecessary suffering, but otherwise are available for humans to use for
food, clothing, research, and entertainment.

Description

Animal rights is about giving an animal the legal right to choose its own destiny within limits, much like
any person can within limits. Animal welfare is a concept that does not allow for an animal to control its
own destiny. We can use that animal for just about any reason we want.
