Animal rights? Don't make me laugh. Animals are there for the taking, we take them, plain and simple.

Animals, in my opinion are more important than we are. Animals provide us with food and clothing and they also give us company and help us work.
We take advantage of them because we are smarter than them. Animals deserve rights.
I do agree that we do need food to survive but people who go out hunting just to hang them on their walls should not be allowed. That is wasting the Earth's natural resources.

just a few points of my view:

1. animals should be treated with some level of respect. some obviously more than others, but all animals need a certain degree of respect. even if it's so much as acknowledging their role in the ecosystem.
2. we need meat and clothing, but we take it to far sometimes, like with dodos, minks, and bison.
3. there is a clear difference between hunting wild game and farming domesticated animals that aren't suited to life in "the wild".

now here's a controversial part:

4. there are some endangered species that are lost causes. the California condor, for example. first off, no one seems to care about any other kind of vulture in the world, especially the other endangered ones. but the condor is somehow special. maybe because it's called "condor" instead of "vulture". but the point is, some of these animals have been teetering on the cliff of extinction for decades and millions of dollars are annually being used as fuel for all these fires that won't grow. i read a book about critically endangered animals from circa 1970. about the only difference since then is that the thylacine went extinct.
