Animal rights, also known as animal liberation, is the idea that the most basic interests of non-human animals should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings. Advocates approach the issue from different philosophical positions, ranging from the protectionist side of the movement, presented by philosopher Peter Singer—with a utilitarian focus on suffering and consequences, rather than on the concept of rights—to the abolitionist side, represented by law professor Gary Francione, who argues that animals need only one right: the right not to be property. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly agree that animals should be viewed as non-human persons and members of the moral community, and should not be used as food, clothing, research subjects, or entertainment...WIKI Twitter @animalforce Facebook http://www.facebook.com/Margforsharks "THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN MEN SUCH AS I WILL LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF ANIMALS AS THEY NOW LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF MEN" LEONARDO DA VINCI Animal Advocate, Shark Conservationist, Animal liberationist, Greenpeace Frontliner, Vegan and Buddhist.

THEY WILL NEVER KNOW A SPRING As I walked along the street today My heart began to sing, For I passed a mass of daffodils And I felt the joy of Spring. I marveled at the colours Of the blossom everywhere, And it filled my heart with joy To see the trees no longer bare. Then I thought of all the animals And no more my heart could sing, And I ached for all the millions Who will never know a Spring. I thought of pigs in factory farms In squalid filthy pens, And I thought of spider-ridden sheds Stacked up with battery hens. They'll never feel a ray of sun, Their hearts will never sing, Locked away from life and beauty They will never know a Spring
