Question
How much of a expert are you?
And.
what rights do you think animal should get and why?
Hi Lola,
Well - my credentials are listed on my biography here on this site.
Animals should have laws that protect them against cruelty. Dogs and domesticated animals do, but not farm animals. Farm animals, such as baby pigs, can be thrown against the wall to dispose of them, and chickens and turkeys can be ground up in a grinder, legally.
Does that answer your questions?
If not, please see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBbYUdvGWk0
Or: http://www.meat.org/video-2.asp
These should give you an answer to your question about what rights animals should be granted, and why.

I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
