| | Animal rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In contrast, animals like jellyfish have simple nervous systems, and may be little more than automata, capable of basic reflexes but incapable of formulating any ends to their actions or plans to pursue them, and equally unable to notice whether they are in captivity. | | | Although Singer is the ideological founder of today's animal-rights movement, his approach to an animal's moral status is not based on the concept of rights, but on the utilitarian principle of equal consideration of interests. | | | The claim is that animals should no longer be regarded legally or morally as property, or treated merely as resources for human purposes, but should instead be regarded as persons. |

| | 10 Reasons for Animal Rights and Their Explanation |
| | Since these animals do not have a right to be treated with respect, the philosophy of animal rights implies that we can treat them in any way we choose. | | | To treat human beings in ways that do not honor their independent value is to violate that most basic of human rights: the right of each person to be treated with respect. | | | The philosophy of animal rights is socially progressive. |

| | Animal Rights FAQ - AR-Views |
| | AR philosophy asserts that rights are to be accorded to creatures that have the capacity to experience pain, to suffer, and to be a "subject of a life". | | | ...the animal rights movement is a part of, not antagonistic to, the human rights movement. | | | Given that nonhuman animals are moral patients, they fall within the purview of moral consideration, and therefore it is quite rational to accord them the same moral consideration that we accord to ourselves. |

| | Animal Rights Watch Maintained by Derek Coons |
| | Animal rights means recognizing that animals are living sentient creatures with interests of their own, not objects to be exploited by humans. | | | It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeeling toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. | | | The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious.They are just too much like us. |
