Chantel's View on Animal Cruelty

In creating Equalrights4animals.blogspot.com, I wanted to find out the pros and cons on animal rights. Opinion is a strong motivation in the things that we are truly passionate about. I am an animal lover in all rights of the word "lover" and I know that we are a society that raises animals for consumption. Even though they are going to be killed, I do not think it is right or ethical to raise the animals in the way that they are being raised. I lose a little more faith in humanity every time I hear of an animal being abused especially when it is a family a pet. All animals have rights and should be treated as such.
