The idea of giving rights to animals has long been contentious, but a deeper look into the reasoning behind the
philosophy reveals ideas that aren’t all that radical. Animal rights advocates want to distinguish animals from inanimate objects, as
they are so often considered by exploitative industries and the law. The animal rights movement strives to make the public
aware of the fact that animals are sensitive, emotional, and intelligent beings who deserve dignity and respect. But first, it’s
important to understand what the term “animal rights” really means.
Animal rights are moral principles grounded in the belief that non-human animals deserve the ability to live as they wish,
without being subjected to the desires of human beings. At the core of animal rights is autonomy, which is another way of
saying choice. In many countries, human rights are enshrined to protect certain freedoms, such as the right to expression, freedom
from torture, and access to democracy. Of course, these choices are constrained depending on social locations like race, class, and
gender, but generally speaking, human rights safeguard the basic tenets of what makes human lives worth living. Animal rights
aim to do something similar, only for non-human animals.
Animal rights come into direct opposition with animal exploitation, which includes animals used by humans for a
variety of reasons, be it for food, as experimental objects, or even pets. Animal rights can also be violated when it comes to human
destruction of animal habitats. This negatively impacts the ability of animals to lead full lives of their choosing.

Why Climate Change Could Mean More Delayed Flights
No one enjoys a delayed flight, but as our weather gets warmer, we can expect more of them.
That's according to experts, who say that the heat of the summer might cause more delays.
Bloomberg looked at US data for flight delays at airports in Chicago and New York from June to August in 2022 and from
January to March in 2023. It found that there were more delayed flights in the summer months at both airports.
When the temperature rises above 39 degrees Celsius, things get very difficult for airlines, Bijan Vasigh, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US, told Bloomberg.
The air is thinner when it gets hot and that makes it harder for planes to take off. In thinner air there is not as much lift, so more power is needed.
When they need more power, it helps to have a lighter airplane.
That might mean pilots have to make last-minute decisions to reduce the weight on board by dumping fuel, passengers or baggage — meaning the plane will probably be delayed.
The problem gets worse at airports that are at a higher altitude where the air is already thinner, and at airports with short runways, since planes need more space to get up to a high speed.
But thin air is not the only problem. Smoke from wildfires — that have been happening all around the world in the summer of 2023 — can also cause flights to be delayed and canceled.
Of course, the summer is also a busy time when millions of people fly, and weather is not the only cause of delays — but our hotter climate doesn't seem to be helping.

Car crashes into second floor of Pennsylvania home
A man drove his car into the second floor of a Pennsylvania home on Sunday in what officials say was an "intentional act".
Charges are pending against the driver after police found a grey vehicle sticking out of the side of the house in the city of Lewistown.
Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its way to the second floor.
"The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the BBC.
Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.
The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr Baumgardner said.
He added that the car likely hit the second floor because of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or railway - on the left side of the house.
The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.
In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional act".
Officials added that the driver will face charges for the crash.
The BBC has reached out to police for comment.
The fire department said it took about three hours to remove the car from the second floor.
"The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.
Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms, the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.
