Animal rights is the idea that animals have rights as well as Humans. In its less extreme form, that just means treating animals kindly and avoiding unnecessary animal suffering. In more extreme forms animal rights gives animals and humans equivalent rights. Liberals tend to support animal rights for the most part but some conservatives support animal rights. Animals having rights completely equivalent to humans isn't necessary and is not right, but they also don't deserve to be treated like they were back then, when no one had any regard for an animal's life or feelings.

The claim is that animals should no longer be regarded legally or morally as property, or treated as resources for human purposes, but should instead be regarded as legal persons.

* A lizard has the right to be turned in to a stylish hand bag.
* A cow has the right to moo and to be used for milk and meat.
* A chicken has the right to cross the road.
* Birds have the right to shit on your head, your car and any and all statues.
* Cats have the right to mew.

| - Animal Rights (an excerpt from The Complete Book of Buddha's Lists -- Explained by David N. Snyder, Ph.D., 2006). Surveys have shown that about half of all Buddhists are vegetarian or nearly vegetarian. Some ask if this translates into joining the Animal Rights cause. Being an animal rights activist is certainly a noble cause to undertake, if one so chooses, but it has been my experience that only a very small percentage of Buddhists take the vegetarian message that far. There is nothing wrong with being an animal rights activist for those who want to, but the media does tend to portray the activists as extremists and sometimes as terrorists. A Buddhist middle way position could be to take the view on the sanctity of all life and to prevent the misuse, abuse, and killing of animals as much as possible. Here are some of the positions animal rights activists have taken and a potential Buddhist middle way answer:
- Animal rights, also known as animal liberation, is the movement to protect non-human animals from being used or regarded as property by humans. It is a radical social movement insofar as it aims not only to attain more humane treatment for animals, but also to include species other than human beings within the moral community by giving their basic interests — for example, the interest in avoiding suffering — the same consideration as those of human beings. The claim is that animals should no longer be regarded legally or morally as property, or treated as resources for human purposes, but should instead be regarded as legal persons. Animal law courses are now taught in 87 out of 180 United States law schools, and the idea of extending personhood to animals has the support of some senior legal scholars, including Alan Dershowitz and Laurence Tribe of Harvard Law School. The Seattle-based Great Ape Project is campaigning for the United Nations to adopt a Declaration on Great Apes, which would see gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos included in a "community of equals" with human beings, extending to them the protection of three basic interests: the right to life, the protection of individual liberty, and the prohibition of torture. This is seen by an increasing number of animal rights lawyers as a first step toward granting rights to other animals. Critics of the concept of animal rights argue that animals do not have the capacity to enter into a social contract or make moral choices, and therefore cannot be regarded as possessors of moral rights. The philosopher Roger Scruton argues that only human beings have duties and that "[t]he corollary is inescapable: we alone have rights." Critics holding this position argue that there is nothing inherently wrong with using animals for food, as entertainment, and in research, though human beings may nevertheless have an obligation to ensure they do not suffer unnecessarily. This position is generally called the animal welfare position, and it is held by some of the oldest of the animal protection agencies.

* Dogs have the right to stay at the temperatures they prefer. Forced heating of dogs that results in hotdogs should be prohibited.
* Dragons have the undisputed right to blowtorch your ass whenever they feel like it.
* Dogs can, and will, hump you.
* Monkeys have the right to throw explosive ordinance and shoot firearms into large groups of humans.
* Flies have the right to fly, hence their name.
* Whatever goes on two legs is an enemy.
* Whatever goes on four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
* No animal shall wear clothes.
* No animal shall sleep in a bed.
* No animal shall drink alcohol. (Except when funny)
* No animal shall kill any other animal.
* All animals are equal.
* Pigs are clearly not animals and, therefore, do not have any rights.
* Deer have the right to stand in front of a car like a dumb ass.
* Dogs have the right to shit in your yard, they also have the right to piss on your tire.
* Horses have the right to be featured in bestiality porn Note that even though the fact that e.g. a cat has the right to moo and a cow has the right to mew are not explicitly mentioned in this declaration, it is commonly accepted that these rights are implicitly guaranteed by the document as well. Animals have also gained rights through religion. For example in India a cow could walk into your house and eat your food and watch your TV, and drink your wife`s breast milk, and all because he is holy you cannot kick his bovine ass with a golf club, like if it was that human dude who`s ass you wanted to kick. There is some doubt as to whether humans are animals, and in the likely event that they are not, it can be clearly stated that they have no rights at all.

The political space for animal rights ranges from ther protectionist, represented by philosopher Peter Singer's utilitarian focus on suffering and consequences, to the abolitionist, represented by law professor Gary Francione, who argues that animals need only one right: the right not to be property. Ethological research has been important in advancing public support for a minimum set of rights for some non-human animals. The ability of several species of primates, as well as dolphins and elephants, to recognize themselves in a mirror, indicates a sense of self. Takaaki Kaneko and Masaki Tomonaga of the Primate Research Institute in Kyoto have reported the results of experiments they say show that "chimpanzees and humans share fundamental cognitive processes underlying the sense of being an independent agents."
