The distinct sound of an ear curdling shriek comes next, followed by a distant thump as a large, limp body crashes to the ground. Just in that moment, another endangered animal is slain out of season by the same faceless men that will be back soon for more. Disturbingly enough, sounds like these and

Animal Rights is a topic that has been debatable for many years. Some think that animals are much smaller than humans, and that they have no value whatsoever. Others think that animals are worth every bit and that we cannot treat them with any sort of disrespect, that includes eating cows, chickens, or even eggs and milk.
