Human rights? Animal rights?

United Nations? Animals have the right to come into the world expecting a good life. Animal mothers have the right to keep their babies and not have the same snatched from them.

Animals have the right to give their babies the food the mother provides and not have it stolen in exploitation. Animals have the right to open, clean nests out of the confinement of stalls stained by urine and feces.

Animals have the right to fresh water to stay clean and to the right food. Animals have the right to kindness.
