    The article talks about a book on how animals should have rights as in equal consideration. Animals have the ability to suffer as well as a human being. Why should or should not animals have rights?

    Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.

    I enjoyed reading this article as well. Animals have very similar traits as humans. They eat, feel, and suffer just as humans do. Why should we strict them of their rights? Just because they do not have a voice to defend themselves does not mean we should ignore the equality they deserve.

    I loved this! Animals have such a huge place in my heart and definitely deserve all the rights as us humans do. I hate hearing stories or seeing videos posted on Facebook of animals being neglected.. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing to an animal who cannot even defend themselves. They just want to be loved and nurtured.

    The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

    This article is about how many people are now vegan or vegetarian. It has become very prevalent in the US. Some do it for health reasons while others are vegan because they do not believe in the harming of animals in any way.

    I've noticed over the last few years veganism has become increasingly popular. Many of my friends and family members have either tried veganism, wanted to try veganism, or succeeded in becoming vegans! Some have done it to lead a healthier lifestyle, but most of them started after learning about the treatment of the animals raised to be eaten and milked. I've considered vegetarianism in the past but have yet to maintain the willpower necessary to stop eating meat.

    I do support what they are doing but some people would have a hard time converting because all of the stuff they eat is meat. I know that they have synthetic meat but I don't know if they would think its the same. there are some stuff I refuse to eat for this reason which is turkey. It may make Thanksgiving difficult for those people but they can still be thankful for their family and friends.

    This article summarizes the effect the meat, egg and dairy industry has on the emission of greenhouse gases. Everything that goes into these industries like feeding and watering cattle, killing them, the manure, and the deforestation involved in expanding the industry is slowly destroying the environment. Throughout the article it proves how vegans and vegetarians significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    What the Health is a documentary on Netflix that explains the health benefits of an all plant based diet. It is a very biased documentary. It tries to get you to go Vegan. No animal products what so ever.

    Some might say my mom is a bit of a health nut, and she definitely avoids feeding us processed foods and GMO products, but she doesn't cook vegan. The fibers and proteins packed inside of organic and dieted (grass fed) meats are very important for a balanced nutrient intake. Obviously, I agree more with the writer than the show producer.

    I heard of this show several times. I want to watch it for myself to see what its all about. I also would never go Vegan.
