Legal Rights for Animals

[Catherine]

Quote:I agree that animals should be given legal rights. That would make some profound changes! But I agree with you also about what you said, Catherine...."I am not wanting animal rights to be an excuse for yet more law suits. It would be better if the changes in the law actually served to protect our pets."

I think gradually the laws will change. Each change in the right direction moves us towards a world where animals are treated well.
I don't know what the final outcome will be, but we cannot stay the way we are.
We cannot deny the intelligence of animals, so we can no longer treat them as if they had no intelligence.
