animal rights

Formerly believed to be an idea in which animals should be equal to people, it is now widely recognized to be a belief where animals should receive higher consideration than humans.

Animal Rights means that humans are forbidden to hunt and/or eat animals, and are forbidden to use animals for ANY reason....
while animals are allowed to hunt and kill, as well as exploit other animals (ants exploiting aphids for their honeydew, for example).

Under this rule, animals are also allowed to kill a human for ANY reason (including, but not limited to: predator instinct, invasion of property, protection of young, etc.) while no human is allowed to kill an animal for any reason, not even to rescue his children from a bear attack.

When it comes to Animal Rights, George Orwell said it best in Animal Farm:
"All animals are equal but some are more equal than others."
The animal rights girl was against animal testing, so she killed a scientist. Meanwhile, she also let a serial killer run free, because he only killed humans...none of his targets were animals. Plus, he was a vegan!

animal rights activist

A person, who ignores malnutrition on the rest of the planet, and tries to force his/her own view on others. Often seen protesting medical advances, clothes or food that involved animals in the process. Would rather "convert" people to his/her own beliefs than accomplish something productive in life. Often resort to drastic action for attention, because their "cause" is not important enough for normal people.
An animal rights activist may be from the groups of

People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals

or

Animal Liberation Front

Women's Rights

The basic concept that, because men and women are all humans, we deserve to be equal.
It is NOT the idea that women are better than men.
Asshole: Fucking feminazis think they're so much better than men.

Every women's rights activist ever: NOOOO!!! WE'RE EQUAL!! IS IT THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?!!??!

California Rights

California Rights are individual rights that are infringed upon to benefit "public well-being". The infringements upon these rights are usually instituted in an effort to counteract California's high level of stupidity per capita. California Rights are commonly found in California, New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
California Rights

San Francisco recently banned the sale of McDonald's Happy Meals because stupid people won't feed their kids real food unless forced to by law.

Los Angeles has banned smoking in outdoor places because stupid people are too uppity to simply avoid smokers, they have to antagonize them as well.

California has the most restrictive gun laws in the United States, yet very high violent crime, because California's other laws drive people to go on psychotic killing sprees.

Postmodern civil rights

Civil rights were formerly things like the right to life, liberty, and property

More recently things like the right not to be offended and the right to marry insects.

animal rights

A belief in which people feel that animals should have at least a few right, and shouldn't have to suffer for the pleasure of humans.
obviously stereo-typical people are claiming that animal-rights activists are phsycho, and that non animals rights people are red necks.
neither is true.
animal rights activists just believe that humans dont NEED to kill animals. animals that hunt are usually pure carnivore, which means they dont have the ability to eat both.
people that dont believe animals should have rights are normal people that have their own beliefs.

the main reason for animal rights is to end the suffering of animals. they feel just like we do. when something blinks, breathes, and flinches when hit, it does have feeling.
