Animal rights, by contrast, is a more radical philosophical position. It argues that animals have inherent rights that exist independently of their usefulness to humans. Supporters of this view believe that animals should not be viewed as property or "resources." They argue that because animals are sentient beings capable of feeling pain and emotion, they deserve the right to live their lives free from human exploitation. This perspective often advocates for the total abolition of animal testing, factory farming, and the use of animals in entertainment.
