36、atever reason, you might now be asking the question: Why should animals have rights?

37、king about animal rights. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is Yes! Animals surely deserve（值得） to live their lives free from suffering. Jeremy Bentham, an animal expert, stated that when deciding on beingsrights, the question was not Can they talk? but Can

Only prejudice allows us to deny othe

40、rs the rights that we expect to have for ourselves. If you wouldnt eat a dog, why do you eat a pig?
