	Does left-wing animal rights activism lead to terror?
		These occurrences may cause many people who are unfamiliar with animal protection, animal rights activists or veganism to develop a totally distorted image of the kind of people who work for these goals.
		The Animal Rights Militia and the Justice Department in the UK are small terror organizations that claim to stand up for animals.
		Animal rights activists in the UK and outside distance themselves utterly from this kind of blinded, terrorist groups.

	An Animal Voice, Minoesj
		When talking about "animal welfare" (AW) we usually refer to the movement that is dedicated to reducing the pain inflicted on exploited animals, and, occasionally, reducing the number of animals utilised (as opposed to abolishing the use of animals, as the animal rights movement does).
		Animals in "free-range" farms have their mobility reduced (sometimes quite severely), and they are always killed (having to go through the terrifying experience of being transported to the abattoir and slaughtered), impeding the fulfilment of their future enjoyment, which is the determinant of our interest in being alive.
		If animal exploiters were a reduced number of people committing atrocities with the opposition of most of the public, maybe those methods would have more effect, as once the exploiters were stopped, there wouldn't be others continuing their job.

	Animal Rights Strategy - Animal Rights Activism from All Creatures: justice, peace, love, compassion, ethics, ...
		Nonhuman animals have the moral rights, which should be established as basic legal rights, not to be used by human beings, not to be property, and to live according to their natures.
		Where animals are known to be suffering due to the failure of the animal-welfare system to protect them from human beings, demand that authorities act to remedy the situation and educate about the inherent inability of the welfare system to protect the animals.
		Communicate that humans are deserving of animal rights that do not currently exist or are not enforced, and that animal exploitation, oppression and abuse are original sources of similar mistreatment of humans.

		Animal enterprise terrorism and eco-terrorists commit arson, trespass, burglary, extortion, and aggravated assault.
		The current animal enterprise terrorism statute is insufficient to address the threat posed by terrorist acts committed against research laboratories, businesses, and other entities that use animals.
		If an animal terrorist, for example, causes millions of dollars in economic damage to an enterprise, he or she should be eligible for more than three years imprisonment.

	Animal Rights Activism Center at Wetlands-Preserve
		The fundamental principle of the animal rights movement is that nonhuman animals deserve to live according to their own natures, free from harm, abuse, and exploitation.
		The withholding of this right from the nonhuman animals based on their species membership is referred to as "speciesism".
		Animal rights activists try to extend the human circle of respect and compassion beyond our species to include other animals, who are also capable of feeling pain, fear, hunger, thirst, loneliness, and kinship.

	Animal rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Animal rights is the concept that all or some animals are entitled to possess their own lives; that they are deserving of, or already possess, certain moral rights; and that some basic rights for animals ought to be enshrined in law.
		His 1975 book Animal Liberation argues that humans grant moral consideration to other humans not on the basis of intelligence (in the instance of children, or the mentally disabled), on the ability to moralize (criminals and the insane), or on any other attribute that is inherently human, but rather on their ability to experience suffering.
		Switzerland passed legislation in 1992 to recognize animals as beings, rather than things, and the protection of animals was enshrined in the German constitution in 2002, when its upper house of parliament voted to add the words "and animals" to the clause in the constitution obliging the state to protect the "natural foundations of life...

	Animal Crackers: A (Not) New Approach to Animal Rights Activism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The author is committed to an egalitarian view of animals and humans, where all creatures who possess certain physiological capacities (the capacity to suffer...) should be accorded equal rights, which is, ironically, a quintessentially speciest argument given the author's repeated assurances that "specism" is evil.
		In the past, I've tried to make the case that animal welfare and animal rights are fundamentally different concepts, though there are places where they overlap (both welfarists and AR people would agree that it is immoral and unethical to torch cats, for example).
		Of course, this is the same justification for using animals in biomedical research: by sacrificing animals today, we are saving countless millions of animals and people in the future (animals benefit from biomedical research just as humans do).

	Regan / Defending Animal Rights
		In a set of essays that reflects his thinking on animal and human rights over the past decade, Regan sketches the philosophical positions espoused by those who want to abolish animal exploitation, reform it to minimize suffering, or maintain the status quo.
		He puts the issue of animal rights in historical context, drawing parallels between animal rights activism and other social movements, including the antislavery movement in the nineteenth century and the gay-lesbian struggle today.
		He also outlines the challenges posed by deep ecology and ecofeminism to using animals for human purposes and addresses the ethical dilemma of the animal rights advocate whose employer uses animals for research.

		Scott stressed that the issue is not the millions of Americans who belong to and are active in legitimate animal rights groups, but rather the fringe factions (such as the Animal Liberation Front; ALF) who are frequently supported both financially and politically by more mainstream organizations.
