However, the remaining animal species do not have rights as we humans understand them. Humans do, however, being Sentient and Sapient, have a moral obligation to treat animals humanely and not to abuse them. This is not to say that they should not be killed; having no awareness of Death or Mortality it does not effect them. However, they can and do feel pain, and should therefore be killed in as painless and humane a manner as circumstances allow, and not made to suffer. People who consciously, intentionally, or negligently abuse animals are the lowest of the low, in my opinion.

Does that mean you oppose the meat industry and never buy meat at the store?
