A philosophy that claims that humans are inherently "moral" animals and have an "ethical" duty to consider the "rights" of animals. Naive at best, they ignore that the concepts of "morality," "ethics," and "rights" are merely inventions of the human mind and do not exist beyond the man-made implications of actions of human beings that only other humans "perceive."
"Right" and "wrong" are psychological fabrications of the human brain and are in no way bound in the world of natural law. "Morality" only exists as far as there is a will of human beings to act upon it. The idea that humans "must" abide by a moral principle that ensures the "rights" of animals is as much a falsehood as the idea that whites are superior to blacks.
A "morality" that says that animal experimentation and consumption is "justifiable" is no more or less a creation of the human mind than any "morality" that says that such activities and "wrong." As sure as the concept of "language" itself, these are ideas that we create in our animal brains whose only "inherent" properties are that fact that they are absolutely meaningless outside of human perception.
"Ethics" and "morality" only exist because the past ten thousand years of evolution have given humanity the ability to invent psychological concepts and apply them to the world around them. If the human physiology lead to a brain that was less "intelligent" than it currently is, then no such arguments of "right" or "wrong" would even exist.
Just so as "morality" and "ethics" and mere human inventions, so are the notions of "freedom," "prejudice," "bias," "racism," "sexism," and "equality."
Animals do not have inherent natural "rights" because nothing does - the idea of "rights" is a human psychological device that exists solely inside of the realm of human perception and action, nothing else.
Again, take a few thousand years of evolution away from the human anatomy, and none of these notions would ever have come to exist - and yes, we'd still be eating animals and wearing their furs and nobody would complain.

Animal rights..."Rights" and "justice" are human creations that are absolutely meaningless beyond the human mind's ability to perceive and analyze action.
The same is true about the notion of "worth" - "worth" is a human fabricated psychological device used to describe in our minds alone what we measure and evaluate the things we perceive.
Animals do not have inherent or natural "worth" or "rights to considerations" because nothing does - even humans - because they are not real. These ideas are not real things beyond the human mind's ability to create words and definitions for their use of measurement.
The notion that animals having measurable "rights" is a natural and inherently occurring state of being is as false as the notion of humans having "rights" is a natural and inherent occurrence and state of being. "Righteousness" and "justice" are human modes of psychological perception, nothing else.

Get the animal rightsmug. When a character from an anime (usually a ninja or something like that) runs with their arms pointed out behind them, seeming like they're limp and they're flowing with the wind.
Since doing this makes running even harder, it can be suspected that anime characters run like that because the animators are too lazy to animate their arms going back and forth, so they just point them backwards.

Matt: Hey look at Johnny! He's doing an anime dash! It looks cool!
Josh: Yeah, it won't look cool when he lands on his face. There's a reason why we move our arms when we run

Get the Anime Protagonistmug. An anime that is so good, so special, so intellectually stimulating, that only the most extreme people who are ahead of the rest can possibly watch.
Unfortunately, at the moment of this writing, the world is ruled by crazy people, so the most sane are considered insane.
Hey it's okay! At least you have my respect for even daring to watch such things without fear.
The japanese people are a deeply spiritual and intelligent one, so only the select few get to enjoy their works.

"Weeb anime is thrash! I don't get it!
-Maybe in 10 years you will, you still have much to learn, young one, a tadpole should not attempt frog activities
until he is old and mature enough."

Get the Anime Clubmug. I'll have a Double Double animal style.

Get the animal stylemug. A character or (heaven forbid) person who, despite attracting and/or surrounding themselves with people (usually physically and socially attractive) who are either overly sensual or always seem to find themselves in less that innocent situations, want nothing to do with or are scared/disgusted with(of) sex or intimate actions with said persons (or anyone else for that matter), regardless of their feelings toward them.
Person A: How is it that he's able to attract all the finest women in the school to just short of them smoothing him with their cleavage, but run away when ever things get too saucy?
Person B: Kid's a total Anime Virgin.
Person A: I guess so....reel 'em in just to toss em back. What a punk bitch.
