There is some very vital information to understand regarding the distinction between animal welfare and animal rights activists. You DO NOT believe in animal rights if you feel it is okay to do even one of the following: • Play fetch with a dog • Pet a cat • Ride a horse • Have any animal as a pet (dog, cat, fish, bird, reptile, amphibian, etc.) • Eat eggs for breakfast • Have milk (dairy) on your cereal • Eat cheese (dairy) and crackers • Wear a leather belt • Use animal insulin if diabetic (animal insulin is less common today but saved million of lives) • Celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey dinner • Etc. If you believe any single item noted above is acceptable, you are not an animal rights activist and you do not support animal rights. However, if you believe in the humane treatment of animals, responsible pet ownership, and the benefits of the bond between humans and animals, you are an animal welfare advocate. Animal welfare and animal rights are vastly different. AR activists believe that there should be absolutely no interaction between humans and animals. No livestock. No pets. Absolutely no interaction.
