animal rights

Do you like animals? Do you have a pet? Don't you think that dogs might be one of your best friends in your life?
I like animals whatever it is dog or squirrel, chipmunk or jellyfish...
In my opinion, I do believe that animals should have their own rights like human beings. They have their rights not to be suffering from human, get pain from human, fear from human and so on. Haven't you ever seen a dog keep staying beside its owner's side? Don't you know that a horse may cry for its family member? Animals also have feelings like human being. They know what is happiness, what is sadness. They can even think. They understand their owners' behaviors. They can recognize their emotions. They know what they should do or should not to do. A Tibetan mastiff will fight with others to protect its only owner.
It true that we need to fight against with different kinds of dieases, but in some cases it is not necessary for us to use animals to do research. Since animals are animals, they are not same like human beings. Even people could influence other different new dieases through using the data which were testing by animals. We need to protect ourselves as well as aniamls.
They are friends of ours!!!

I love animals, but I remember that when animals are suffering the painful that come from animal testing, a lot of people are also suffering the painful that come from hard-to-treat diseases. Animal research is the hope for human beings to deal with diseases, it's not the only way but is a very effective way to help us find the solution. If I have to make decision between lovely pets and my family, I choose family...
