Should Animals Have The Same Rights As Humans? The Facts Health How Can I Help? Alternatives

Farming
Due to the conditions in which animals are farmed, their meat is capable of passing on many 
illnesses.  Dead and diseased animals are kept with healthy ones, their meat is unhealthy 
due to immobility and they are regularly given antibiotics to reduce disease and many other 
chemicals and drugs to help fatten them up.  
Unfortunately, fish are now kept in similar conditions, with as many as twenty seven trout 
being kept in the equivalent of a bath tub.  Fish tend to be farmed now due to over fishing 
putting some species at the risk of becoming endangered.
 
Milk is considered healthy by most of the general public.  However, humans are the only 
animals that go on to drink milk into their adult life and we’re the only animals who drink the 
milk of another species; neither natural nor healthy.  Milk has been linked to depression, 
diabetes, asthma, eczema and many other common illnesses.  Milk also contains IGF-I; suitable 
for calves to grow strong and quickly but known to cause prostate cancer in humans 
and accelerate malignant growth.
 
Vivisection
Humans suffer from around 30,000 types of disease; less than 1½ of these diseases are 
found in other animals.  Cancer, for example, is mostly found in lining membranes such as 
the lungs, within humans.  In mice and rats, cancer is found in the connective tissues or bones.  
In fact, it’s been possible to cure cancer in rats and mice since the 1970s, not that humans 
have benefited from this.  95% of drugs passed by animal tests are immediately discarded 
due to them being dangerous or non-effective to humans.  When asked, 88% of doctors 
agreed animal experiment results are misleading due to ‘anatomical and physiological 
differences between animals and humans.’
