1.The argument that is represented in the article is that some animals should also have the same freedom as humans.
ReplyDelete2.A possible alternative argument is that they show chimpanzee's show a difference between a small and large ball
Larry that is so true and also i do agree with the answer to the second question.
Deletei agree so much with the first one.
DeleteThe argument that is presented in the video is that animals should a least have some of the same rights that humans have because they function just like us. To me a possible argument is that animals should be treated like humans for example they need to like have games and activites just like we do because they are smart just like us
ReplyDeletethats true and i love how u expressed yourself with your opinion
DeleteI agree because without animals what do we eat... plants? The world wouldn't adjust and it could lead to chaos with out meat. Not to mention companies that serve food (like KFC, McDonald's and Burger King) would go out of business. Everyone would have to learn how to raise crops. Fast food would be gone. The world would be Vegan.
DeleteThe argument is that certain animals should have the same rights as humans and an alternative argument should be is that all of these animals should be in a forest preserve and the evidence to support this is that the forest preserve let the animals be free in their natural habitat and nobody can harm them.
ReplyDeletenice evidence
DeleteThanks.
Delete1.Animals should be respected in the same respect that us humans get
ReplyDelete2.The argument is that the monkeys can learn how to do things that us humans can do
not the same respect
Delete1. the argument that is presented by the article is that animals need to have rights as well as humans do.
ReplyDelete2. i think that an alternative perspective is from the animal's perspective. You would never find a reason to abuse these animals n i feel that it is so wrong to do so
i agree with u kyra animals should have no reason to be abused in no way shape or form
Delete1.The argument in the article is that some animals should have the same rights as people
ReplyDelete2.That the animals should have more rights than there suppose to have,you need proof like a video and a you need to bring out the word what you want to say
I think animals should have some rights as humans do.I think they should have rights because they don't deserve what they are given.And I think they should a little more strict rules because sometimes they can't maintain their feelings.
ReplyDeletethe argument is that chimpanzees are getting abused and they deserve person-hood.
ReplyDeletea possible alternative is that chimps do not need person hood because they are not people.the evidence that would be need to support this argument was if something was to go wrong when a chimp was given person-hood like for example if they were on a computer and they broke it then people would be upset cause an animal was in charge of something only a human should be doing
I think its about ducks. [:
ReplyDelete1.The argument is that some highly intelligent animals should have the same rights as people.
ReplyDelete2. The only alternative argument I see is to punish the people who are killing the animals. You could have a fine for at least 5000 dollars for killing intelligent animals like. Elephants for example. They made it where you have to pay a fine for killing elephants for their tusks. They should do that for all animals.
The Argument in the video is that Animals should be treated like humans because they are like us in a way. they should be treated like us because we don't get put in cages and all animals or most should not just get locked away in a cage.
ReplyDeleteI agree great job explaining!
ReplyDeleteI a duck You are Duck pewdiepie is a duck
ReplyDelete1. The argument is that animals should have rights just like humans and that's true.
ReplyDelete2. It would be different if we got the people's perspective about the matter and the evidence would be that animals do need rights since animals have the same potental as a human.
Ducks rule !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe argument presented in the article is that animals should have persons rights.The activist for animal rights,Mr. Wise. Mr.Wise believes his current focus chimpanzees,elephants,whales and dolphins (a.k.a highly intelligent animals) should have person hood.
ReplyDeleteI believe that ALL animals are animals NOT people and shouldn't be considered a person.I think instead of being considered people in the court of law the laws that protect then should be updated and new and better ones should be created. A normally trained animal like a dog wouldn't be able to tell what happened if he was hurt.
1.The argument is that animals are people too so animals should be teared like people.too.
ReplyDelete2.the monkeys are like people too because they can do everything like people do.
i think monkeys and things like us should be treated with respect like all humans
ReplyDeleteThe argument states that animals should be treated like humans. An alternative argument is animals shouldnt be treated like humans because animals cant read or write.
