Human beings create temporary and arbitrary boundaries to exclude beings who aren’t like them. Human beings have justified wars, slavery, sexual violence, and military conquests through the mistaken belief that those who are “different” do not experience suffering and are not worthy of moral consideration. Ethical Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We are taught the Golden Rule as young children, and all major religions teach principles of nonviolence and kindness. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Ethical treatment—the Golden Rule—must be extended to all living beings: reptiles, mammals, fish, insects, birds, amphibians, and crustaceans. Treatment Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way. All beings desire freedom to live a natural life, according to their inherent desires and instincts. While the lives of all beings necessarily involve some amount of suffering, human beings must stop deliberately inflicting suffering on all beings for our own selfish desires. We lose nothing in replacing a cheeseburger with a veggie burger or a leather purse with a fabric one. But beings we exploit lose their lives just for our fleeting fancy. Animals We are all animals. We believe all beings deserve liberty and respect not because they share the characteristics we admire in ourselves but because they are living beings. We share the same evolutionary origins, we inhabit the same Earth, and we are ruled by the same laws of nature. We are all the same. © Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals Learn More ‘Animalkind’: Listen to the Best Animal Rights Book of 2020 “Animalkind” is an Amazon bestseller, and celebrities are raving about it—and now, it’s available to everyone who’d rather read a book with their ears. iStock.com/Elitsa Deykova Share Tweet Pin PETA Exposé: Look Inside Facilities That Supply Bettas to Pet Stores Worldwide A PETA Asia eyewitness visited 10 facilities in Thailand that supply bettas to pet stores around the world, including two facilities that supply Petco in the U.S., and found appalling neglect and cruelty to fish.
