From the Encyclical Redemptoris Hominis of John Paul II :

http://www.vatican.va/edocs/ENG0218/__PG.HTM

This state of menace for man from what he produces shows itself in various directions and various degrees of intensity. We seem to be increasingly aware of the fact that the exploitation of the earth, the planet on which we are living, demands rational and honest planning. At the same time, exploitation of the earth not only for industrial but also for military purposes and the uncontrolled development of technology outside the framework of a long-range authentically humanistic plan often bring with them a threat to man's natural environment, alienate him in his relations with nature and remove him from nature. Man often seems to see no other meaning in his natural environment than what serves for immediate use and consumption. Yet it was the Creator's will that man should communicate with nature as an intelligent and noble "master" and "guardian", and not as a heedless "exploiter" and "destroyer".

Yes, they should have rights as what they are, animals, not as "persons".

My answer to this question is: yes !

Especially the animals in the bio-industry should be treated better.

What are your thoughts on this matter ?


Forget animal rights.This thread is 140 I am not going to read them all.
I expect it is 70/70.
Forget animal rights.Humans should have rights too.

Should that even be a question?!?!? aren' we animals too? So whos to say we get Special treatment while other animals dont?!?!

And that whole attempt of being funny with ' Monkey burger', failed, you weren't funny, but barbaric! Which era are you living in?!?! I'm sure cave men didn't even eat monkeys?! If they did, they were cavemen, we are much more civilized and evolved than them. (sorry, didnt mean it to come out so harsh, I just have this thing about monkeys, you should see my room, every inch*little exageration* theres a monkey! lol 🙄)
