Ashford 3: - Week 2 - Discussion 2

Animal Rights

   Do human beings have any obligations to animals in terms of their treatment?   If it is wrong to treat animals cruelly, why is it not wrong to eat them?   Explain if, and how, you think humans can find a balance between treating   animals ethically while also raising them for food and for other reasons,   such as the testing of pharmaceuticals.
 

  Your initial post should be at least 150 words in length. Support your claims   with examples from this week’s required material(s) and/or other scholarly   resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your   classmates’ posts by Day 7.
