Wow, Thank you Em for the clarification of the difference between the two. As a person that didn’t know the difference between the two, I now understand the points of both communities. Personally, I think it's important to find a balance between animal rights and animal welfare. While I believe that animals should be treated with kindness and respect, I also understand that humans have been using animals for various purposes throughout history. As long as animals are treated ethically and their well-being is prioritized, I think it's possible to find a middle ground that respects both their rights and their welfare.

I forgot for a while that this differentiation exists in the animal community 😂. I would say that I am mostly on the side of animal welfare but i also agree with certain points in animal rights like being against using animals in testing for cosmetic products and that we should leave some wild animals alone.

Love your videos, Em ❤❤❤

Yeah I firmly believe that the "animal rights" position is untenable. They usually rely on a naturalistic fallacy, the notion that what is 'natural' to an animal must be better for them, but that's clearly not true. Access to veterinary care, protection from predators, the highest quality food. There are countless benefits and in spite of what negatives there might be, I think is quite obviously a net positive. And I've seen countless times at expos or when talking to neighborhood kids about my own reptiles how interacting with one animal can inspire a deep interest in animal welfare and being ecologically conscious of how their actions influence the world around them.

I'm angry with animal right activists right now. There's a natural reserve near where I live that has become overun by deer. The city decided years ago to put down a certain percentage of deer in order to preserve the environment. Animal rights activists sued the city and postponed the plan for years, creating an ecological disaster. The city eventually won but now they'll have to put down way more dear than they had originally planned and some massive damage has been done to the reserve.

I agree with animal rights activists when it comes to animal testing, specifically when it's cosmetic testing, but i can't imagine not being able to have my pets. I think sometimes our animals need us just as much as we need them! Besides, if those spiders can have tiny pet frogs, then why can't we have tiny pet frogs? lol
The best thing we can do is ensure every animal, whether wild or in our care, is safe, happy, and healthy. ❤

This is really interesting to hear about! I’ve always described myself as an animal lover and even did a ton of research in many different topics (animal behavior and biology) yet I did not know there was a difference between animal right and animal welfare! Great video; it really had me rethinking and now I’m writing down some more things to look up for myself 😁

[dogobsesssseeeddddd]

Where did you go? I just found your channel and have been binge watching but it looks like you aren't making videos anymore 😢

[arielsoriano]

I think the healthiest way to approach this topic is by considering both parties' points of view. As you said, Em, having a marriage of the two. This is where I stand today, however, I yet don't know if it's sustainable forever.

[newlightpets]

Em thank you so much for this information! As an animal lover I am glad to have this clarification! You’re amazing! 😊

Emzotic hasn't made a new vidoe in almost a year :( Hope she is okay?

This is such an important topic of discussion. I still sit between some of what animal rights stands for and also animal welfare stands for. I have 6 cats, all rescues and I do have a ferret, also a rescue. I can afford to care for all of my babies. They all go to the vet and are all up to date on their vaccinations. I'm still discovering myself going deep down the rabbit hole on these important topics. I appreciate you sharing, educating and highlighted the difference of animal rights and animal welfare Em. I will continue to do my own research and keep digging further. I've really missed watching you on youtube. Good to see you. much love Em💫🎄✨❤️

Yayyy! Another video! You’re awesome, and your content is so fun and informative to watch.

Animal rights is so extreme. Animal welfare is so important! I went to the baraboo zoo in Wisconsin and their “education animals” were a cockatiel & indian ring neck who were in a cage with branches outside with no water or food. Not an employee in sight at that place. I hope they are being treated better cause I raised hell and was so tempted to steal them 😢

[TheLittleThings-nktj]

I had no idea the differences between rights and welfare before this video! Thank you for teaching me 😃

Sundays are quickly becoming a favourite day for me 🤩😍

[calladricosplays]

Thank you so kuch for making this video. I have literally lost jobs that i was in the final stage of interview for because the interviewer's tone suddenly changed and they asked if i am part of an animal rights group, and nothing i could say would convince them otherwise. Now i know to say "animal welfare, " not animal rights...

[Alphanightwolflobonocturnaalfa]

Hello Em I'm new to your channel and before this video I didn't even know this difference even exist but now I am glad that you made this video because I am a huge animal lover and what nothing but the best for my animals and you helped me decide to be on the Animal welfare side so thank you so much

[littlewigglemonster]

Yay welcome back I got so excited when i saw a new short from you!
