Seems rhetorical, but the fact is animals live through this everyday, without even given the choice. As humans, we establish our authority among all living beings, but for what reasons?

In the United States, animals are abandoned, beaten, and fighting for their survival every day. Forced to live in unhygienic conditions with no water or food, they don't have very much hope as they live out their days lacking the empathy or consideration that they deserve. Some are discovered and rescued, given the opportunity to experience how magnificent their lives can be; others aren't so fortunate. In order to change as country, we must stick up for these mistreated animal's rights and seriously correct the mistakes of cold-hearted people who abuse them. It is up to us to stand up for these creatures who lack a voice, because who will if we do not?

In the United States however; some of the animal rights laws are considered to be useless and under-enforced (Animal Legal & Historical Center). More people today are beginning to see that animals should have rights and should be protected by laws and regulations (Animal Legal & Historical Center). Sadly there are many people residing in the United States who don’t take animal rights or protection laws seriously. These people abuse animals in many ways, including food industries that disobey the regulations set in place for the slaughter of animals used for consumption. Luckily for the animals there are people who fight for their rights and the enforcement of laws called animal rights activists.
