- For
- Animals in Captivity
- Animals are often kept in zoos or circuses.
- The conditions of their living circumstances are questionable as we can't be sure that they are being cared for correctly.
- Could class animals that are pets as animals in captivity.
- Pets aren't always given love, attention and the life they need.
- Animals are often kept in zoos or circuses.
- Stewardship or Dominion
- Stewardship-The belief that humans are responsible for the world and should take care of it.
- Dominion-Humans having power over animals
- I believe that it is more a dominion society within religion when it comes to animal rights.
- Animals are mindlessly and needlessly killed for people to eat, profit from or just gain pleasure from.
- It is unnecessary but people interpret religious quotes how they wish and, if they believe a certain quote tells them to hunt, they will not change their mind.

- Wild Animals
- The first thing to come to my mind when I think of wild isn't 'free', it's hunted. A large majority of wild animals are hunted by humans for no particular reason.
- These animals are living in the conditions that they need for survival.
- However, some are struggling to survive due to hunting. It isn't safe for them, yet it's supposed to be their home.
- Human and Animal Relationship
- Humans tend to have a sort of 'over-rule' of animals. They take them in as pets and use them for entertainment.
- Although the relationship between a human and an animal can sometimes be loving, it can also sometimes be cruel.
- If an animal harms a human, then the animal gets killed. However, if a human hurts an animal, no punishment is given.
- Unless it's an animal that is protected by certain laws. Even then, humans barely get any punishment.
- Example:
- Tilikum the Orca
- Tilikum was captured in 1983 aged 2.
- He was around 13 feet long and was taken from his family and home.
- He was transported to SeaWorld and trained to perform using a technique that involved food being withheld from him, whilst being attacked by two dominant female orcas into their tiny round 'home'.
- He was forced to perform every hour, on the hour, eight times a day and seven days a week. The stress gave him stomach ulcers.
- Food was withheld from him and his tank mates if he performed a trick incorrectly. Both the female orcas would rake his entire body with their teeth as a punishment.
- In 1991, Tilikum killed the first of 3 victims. He dragged her to the bottom of the pool due to his frustration. SeaWorld then sold him and closed its doors for good.
- SeaWorld used his sperm to build up a collection of orcas, so now, 54% of orcas have his genes.
- His frustration caused him to kill another 2 people: one in 1999 and another in 2010.
- He was then kept in a tiny enclosure until he was allowed to perform again.
- It has been said that he found freedom in his death.
