Animal rights

If it were left up to me,all animals would be treated fairly before being sacrificed to feed me and my family. Animals should have the right to live a joyous life, during co- habitation before they are slaughtered. They shouldn't have to be susceptible to being injected with antibiotics, pesticides, or growth hormones at the hands of factory farms,just to make them larger and more plump for human consumption. Animals such as chickens,pigs,turkeys,and cowsshouldn't be held in small cages with thousands of other animals just like them, with their massive bodies squeezing the other animals together like balls,to the point where they're clawing and pecking each other to death.Animals should have rights just like humans, they should be able to roam the farm grounds freely, without any constraint, they should have plentiful amounts of greens and leaves to eat just as they would have if they were free, and they shouldn't be tortured or held in confinement at factory farms,just so they can save money.We as humans don't understand the importance of what animals go through on a day to day basis just so that we have plenty to eat. Just like leading scientists have said, "it is impossible to know when an animal is suffering,"so why don't we become their voices, and stand up for their rights, to be lively and happy animals before they're consumed by us.Why don't we let those animals that are sacrificed for us live just as happy as we do before they die to feed our families.

In all respect, some people have justifications and true beliefs for what they believe in and what they don’t. I believe that the death penalty is wrong no matter how you put it. Let’s say for instance, that a kidnapper hypothetically speaking, kidnapped, raped, and murdered your child, and the prosecution opted for the death penalty of that kidnapper and murderer, would you stand by it and let it happen? I wouldn’t because to me that is immoral. Two wrongs don’t make a right, why would you want to put the kidnappers’ mother in the same position that you were once in, knowing that your child was murdered, why would you want to cause the same heartache and pain to that mother, in which you felt once before. Killing the kidnapper is not going to give you justification for killing him, nor will it bring your child back. No matter what your true belief maybe, you’re committing the same crime in which he committed, “murder,” but you’re getting away with it, because you feel justified in your convictions. It doesn’t matter if “X” is true for you to believe that your true in your conviction for the death penalty, if you feel that the kidnapper and murderer killed your child.
