Animal Rights Definition The three basic rights that most animal rights activists feel should be awarded to non-human animals are similar to those guaranteed to United States citizens in the Declaration of Independence: life, individual liberty, and exemption from torture. More moderate animal rights groups maintain that non-human animals should not be made to suffer unnecessarily, but since only humans have an observable ability to enter into a social contract, they are the only ones eligible for rights.

More moderate animal rights groups maintain that non-human animals should not be made to suffer unnecessarily, but since only humans have an observable ability to enter into a social contract, they are the only ones eligible for rights.

Underlying Question Should animals be viewed as property, or as individuals with their own rights?

John Locke(1693)...that animals did have feelings, and that unnecessary cruelty toward them was morally wrong, but that the right not to be harmed adhered either to the animal's owner, or to the human being who was being damaged by being cruel. Discussing the importance of preventing children from tormenting animals, he wrote: "For the custom of tormenting and killing of beasts will, by degrees, harden their minds even towards men."

Immanuel Kant (1785) "cruelty to animals is contrary to man's duty to himself, because it deadens in him the feeling of sympathy for their sufferings, and thus a natural tendency that is very useful to morality in relation to other human beings is weakened."

William Harvey On the working of the heart  “It is obviously easier to observe the movement and function of the heart in living animals than in dead men.” May 18, 1636
