In the document I attached you can see the part of what I wrote to start the first part of the essay of do or should animals have rights. Is like a some notes for the first question on animal rights. source is cited on top
to clarify again The “do” part and “should” part must both me answered for each
they shouldn’t contrast. they should speak of how animals do have rights currently (legal) and why they should have rights( moral)
use the book ecological ethics 2nd edition by Patrick curry as a source as well. you can preview it on google and it has good information up to chapter 10 I believe. chapter 8-9 I believe has info on species
you can use both the book and external sources
