| | Animal Rights Watch Maintained by Derek Coons |
 | | Animal rights means recognizing that animals are living sentient creatures with interests of their own, not objects to be exploited by humans. |
 | | It means that animals' interests should be respected, and that the enslaving, eating, wearing, and torturing of animals by humans is wrong. |
 | | This results in hellish lives for animals who have to deal with severe confinement, mutilations done with no anesthesia (such as debeaking, castration, and tail docking), horrible living conditions, disease, shipping in extreme temperatures, and finally their own execution at the slaughterhouse. |
