    Animal Welfare vs. Animal Rights

    Uploaded by

    Morsid Andityas
    Animal welfare focuses on the humane treatment of animals, with decisions based on scientific information, while recognizing humans' dominance over animals. Animal rights activists believe animals should not be used by humans at all and deserve equal treatment, though some do not consider the historical human-animal relationship. Views on animal treatment differ between cultures, with some worshipping cows, while increased urbanization distances people from agricultural realities.

    In the picture above Cambodians perform a ritual


    for a “holy cow” that had died. Cambodians and
    many other cultures worship cows in hopes for
    good luck, hope and prosperity.
    Indian culture believes that cows are sacred. They
    go as far as worshipping cows and treating them
    better than themselves. They also allow cows to
    defecate in their homes in order to be blessed.
    Animal Welfare
     With increased urbanization many people
    have not been directly involved with
    agriculture
     These people are more likely to lean towards
    the idea of animal rights
     People can be biased if they have never
    experienced life with animals
     People typically believe the views given to
    them by their parents
    This vs. That
