Animal Rights by law

Animals, especially when they’re around humans, certainly need their rights to be legislated. The story of domesticated animals and their offspring is all about loss, loss of dignity and loss of life. The only change they need is to win the right to live outside slavery. Needless to say, out of respect for them, we should atone, or at least leave them alone … but, as it happens we’ve done so much damage to them over the generations that we can’t simply liberate them. Now we also need to protect them. Domesticated animals wouldn’t be able to survive on their own. Importantly we owe them ‘safe passage’, to live out their lives in a sanctuary or refuge … retired in other words. At the very least they are entitled to an unmolested life.
Since we know that neither animal muscle tissue or animal by products are essential for a healthy life, there are no arguments left to support non-vegan living.
