Read the excerpt from "Animal Rights Debate.”
Negative
Animals have no moral or legal rights. Philosophers have long supported the idea that animals are not capable of judgment, as humans are; that laws are made by, and for, humans; and that animals are unable to use reasoning.
Moral Rights
Animals have no moral rights. They lack any sense of morality. They lack an understanding of their duties toward others. They lack the capacity for free moral judgment.
Philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas have taught that, while human beings engage in rational thought, animals act purely on instinct. Therefore, animals do not behave morally, and they are not members of a moral community.
Since animals have no concept of morality, they are not entitled to any rights—or indeed to any moral or legal consideration at all.
