Class All Nonhuman Vertebrates As Nonhuman Persons, Not Property
All over the world, animals suffer violence and speciesism for their flesh, down, skins and for humans’ enjoyment. They are also abused for other reasons.
Even the highest animal welfare standards in the world is not enough. Animals need to be recognised as nonhuman persons. They need rights!
Animals are mutilated, caged/crated, shot, kept in cruel conditions, have their young taken and bolt-gunned in the head, gassed or electrically stunned and then have their throats cut for meat, dairy and eggs.
Animals are also caged, trapped and killed by strangulation, gassing or poisoning for their fur.
Animals are also shot and culled unnecessarily in the wild because of speciesism.
Animal welfare is not enough! To truly protect animals, they must be given legal rights and personhood!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you're concerned about animal rights, but we're not sure what legal rights you want animals to be given.
