People and animals have equal rights!

To be quite honest, I agree. Its like I keep pointing out. If you really stop to think about it, and it becomes more and more obvious, that humans are animals. Yet... the natural instinct that drives to do the same as say cats, dogs, birds, sheep, etc, to servive effects us as well as them. However humans think they can hold themselves, (well most do) in a higher class simply because they have the abbility to think and make choices. They consider themselves bigger faster and stronger then the animals they use for food, clothing, etc.

I guess yes. They have also rights like human. Rights to live and rights to be respect since they have lives and brain that can think in their own way.

depends what you mean by rights. if it comes down to equal rights, that could mean letting them vote and everything. the right they deserve is to be respected and well treated. even when used for food. we need to always accept that they are sentient beings, have emotions and feelings, and we need to respect that and treat them well. give them space to move about and behave naturally, enough food, enough water, enough mental stimulation. when used for food this needs to be done with respect, using as humane and painless a method of slaughter as we can possibly provide and then not being wasteful with the meat, for which they paid with their life. unfortunately, life is cheap. people expect to be able to pay only a few pounds for a chicken. which means each chicken can only cost a few pence to produce, and which means they are treated barbarically to make this production as cheap as possible. we all need to make choices in life that don't support this sort of treatment of sentient, aware and feeling animals. no greater or lesser than we are.
