Declaration of Animal Rights
- That we share the earth with other creatures great and small.
- That many of these animals experience pleasure and pain.
- That these animals deserve our just treatment and that these animals are unable to speak for themselves.
We do therefore declare that these animals
- Have the right to live free from wanton exploitation whether in the name of science or sport, exhibition or service, food or fashion.
- Have the right to live in harmony with their nature, rather than according to human desires.
- Have the right to live on a healthy planet.
We therefore call for the protection of these rights
