What is the Animal Rights Movement?

 The animal rights movement, sometimes called the animal liberation, animal personhood, or animal advocacy movement, is a social movement which seeks an end to the moral and legal distinction drawn between human and animals, an end to the status of animals as property, and an end to their use in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries. The movement strives to create a more equitable world in which animals are treated with more kindness, understanding and respect.
