    Animals, they are an important part of life and our society. Yet, they do not have their own Bill of Rights. Some may believe that they do not need one, but when you look at how intelligent many of them are, it is difficult to believe that they are not just as deserving as one as us. Without one, a lot of animals are legally abused and put in deplorable conditions.
