The rights of animals. Humans, besides having superior intelligence to most animals, have nothing that sets them apart besides their need to wear clothes and cause global warming and genocide. Animals feel pain too, and each animal's life is worth just as much, no less and no more, than a human's life. Why are we better than them? We aren't. Sure, they have no "purpose" but neither do we. What's our purpose? To start wars and cut down trees? Give me a break.
Ignoramus- Animals have no rights. We're more important. Boo "animal rights"!
Me- Why are we more important?
Ignoramus- Errrr...duuuuh...

Get the animal rights mug.A practice & philosophy of compassion to all animals & to stop cruelty to them based off human exploitation........nothing more, nothing less. The rest is off-shoot branches of the movement that differ in method to achieve the objectives & what constitutes exploitation (see veganism etc).
Usually hits a nerve with people who aren't animal rights activists & makes them feel uncomfortable & so they slander the movement often without being informed, instead basing their opinions on stereotypes.

The Animal rights activist movement has been around for centuries in some form & can be seen in the philosophies of Kant, Rousseau, Bentham, Thoreau, I.B Singer, Voltaire, Schweitzer & many many more

Get the Animal Rights activist mug.by Canada? June 20, 2009
Get the animal rights mug.1. Someone who judges people based on names alone, immediately assuming someone with a name like “Billy-Bob” must be stupid. Also preaches a stereotypical and irrational hatred of southern society, often describing them as “ignorant and insecure individuals who are deathly afraid of any form of social change“. It is very possibly they promote other discrimination as well.
2. A movement to make the act of kicking punishable by death, as it is apparently as offensive as murder to them.
3. A movement to stop the trading of dogs in hopes that they will crap inside the homes of their owners, bringing disease into their homes, and cause a massive plague upon humanity.

Get the Animal Rights Activist mug.(Let me start off by saying that I find the definitions that are listed here to be very offensive. I am a vegan and a supporter of animal rights. I am also very active in human rights, peace and social justice activism. It is a fundamental misinterpretation to say that people who believe in animal rights hate people. For the most part, animal rights activists are very concerned about issues related to cruelty towards humans as well as non-humans.)
An animal rights activist is someone who cares deeply about the fundamental rights of other living beings, believing strongly that no animal, human or non-human, deserves to suffer. A core belief of the animal rights movement is that sentient beings have the right to live a life free from cruelty and exploitation. Animal rights activists do not seek to create a world where non-human animals are treated better than humans, rather a world where no sentient being, including humans, has to suffer. Many animal rights activists are also active in other communities such as human rights activism, social justice activism, civil rights activism, peace activism, etc.
Animal rights activists seek to reduce or relieve the cruelty inflicted upon other sentient beings.
