Animal rights is the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests-such as the need to avoid suffering-should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. They maintain that animals should no longer be viewed as property or used as food, clothing, research subjects, entertainment, or beasts of burden.
