These days animals are murdered and tortured for our own selfish reasons. Chickens are stuffed in to tiny cages were they are unable to move so that they become overweight and we can enjoy their meat more. Pigs lay in the darkness side by side , getting sick and spreading diseases to each other. Waiting for their deaths! Animals are just like us they feel pain , when you kick a dog u can see it whimpering or even crying. Animals have emotions and set goals in life.So why take them away from their natural habitat and slaughter them. Our group strongly believes that eating meat is murder. For these main reasons one animals have rights two we cause animals unnecessary pain and three there is other viable alternatives. I will be speaking about the first two.

My first point is that animals have rights just like people. Its against the law to murder or torture humans so why do we do it to animals if they are so much like us.They are living and breathing .They suffer, feel pain ,experience loss, have families, can be depressed or happy . Lobsters let out screams when there bodies are boiled to death. Elephants get sad and cry when they come across another dead elephants body.How would you feel if some one came and murdered your pet and then ate it so why do it to other animals.For these reasons and many more I think animals have rights.

On to my second point which is animals are objected to unnecessary pain. Cubs are beaten to death because when they are beaten they get scared and there is more bloody pumping through their body so the meat we eat is more juicer and animals are kept in small crates which prevent movement and inhibit muscle growth so their flesh will be tender. Also some animals are fed a diet that is deficient of iron so their flesh is paler and looks more appealing to the costumer.Cows are kept in intensive confinement so they suffer emotionally because they are socially deprived. Pigs are very social and affectionate creatures so when they are confined to small spaces were they cant even turn around it affects them both physically and emotionally. Pigs become crazy with boredom and develop nervous ticks other are driven to fighting and cannibalism because of their frustration. Animals don't see daylight from the time they are born to the time they are sent off to get slaughtered.Humans put animals through all that pain just to have a nice meal. For these reasons I think that animals are objected to unnecessary violence.

Today I have shown you a world were animals are beaten to death were people think its ok to abuse and hurt animals even though they are so much like humans. Because of this our group strongly believe eating meat is murder.
