The place of animals in modern civilization is a hotly debated topic. But many of the pertinent issues have been discussed by various environmental activists during the past ten years. I'll make an effort to illustrate a few points in this essay about animal rights and how people view animals. Our fellow creatures, which are sentient or subjects of a life, are accorded the same moral standing by Singer and Tom Regan's arguments from marginal situations. Whether one adopts some type of animal individuality or some version of holism, the worth of animals varies greatly.
Key words: Animal, Speciesism, Holism, Anthropocentrism, Human, Rights, Morality etc
