The question is not, can they reason?
nor, can they talk?
but, can they suffer? -Jeremy Benthem

What is the nonhuman rights movement?
The Nonhuman Rights Project is about providing rights for nonhuman animals. It’s trying to give rights to animals that aren’t human in order to protect them from actions that may be morally wrong. All animals have the ability to suffer, to feel pain, to be happy and to be sad. Whenever we do something that could interfere with their lives, we need to take their lives into moral consideration. For example, in factory farming, over 100 million animals are confined in cruel conditions. They deserve to a life worth living as well. It’s not necessary to provide non humans with all the rights we have but, we would provide them with the rights that they deserve to have.
