English-Nederlands-Español-Português-Français-Deutsch

Some arguments used in debate on the topics in the title simply are invalid. That goes for pro and contra. We selected a few of the most rigid arguments from different situations and placed an appropriate counterargument. Because a more clear and honest way of reasoning helps improve the circumstances animals live in.
Mail us if you encounter other or new (counter)-arguments (click in the list marked with to go directly to the section).

Apart from the specific issues there are the types of arguments in general.

 

Non-valid arguments (deceptive arguments) for different groups:

meat-eaters
vegetarians
10 myths about Vegans

Non-valid arguments for taking animal rights too seriously

Reaction

treating animals justly is good for your karma

 

only if you believe that

animals are equal to humans

 

only if it means having equal basic rights
If it means, "should be treated as equals": no

animals have intrinsic value

 

the value of something has nothing to do with its rights

animals respect the right to freedom for humans

 

that is not a conscious choice for an animal and cannot be ascribed to the animal
