In class when we discussed if animals matter ethically and if they have moral rights in this world made me think more about the issue on how we treat some animals and how it can be morally and ethically wrong. Although we may not think of treating animals with such cruelty we aren't really considering on where the meat we consume, makeup we use, and medicine we take really came from and what had to happen to get it. In class we discussed the issue if animals have a moral right to things and if they should. I believe animals should have rights and not be treated with such harm like chickens being contained in cages and not be able to move because there are so many stuffed in one cage. Also rats being made to drink poisons so we can where make up to make us look younger. None of these things seem right to do and I personally do not like it.
I believe in the approach of seeking compromise in identifying real human needs and look for human alternatives. Animals have social order and they can feel from joy and pain so why treat them in ways we do not necessarily have to. Instead of raising chickens in factory cages why not consume only farmed raised chickens who have been raised well. There are alternatives for every mistake we make but it seems we always choose the easiest and fastest way which can be morally and ethically wrong.
