Introduction

Animal rights refer to the rights of the non-human animals that tells us the other animal too have the right to remain free, are not subjected to harm and live without human interference. The notion that 'The animals also should have autonomy just like human beings is the core concern of animal rights activists. These activists protest against the harms and exploitation of animals in the form of laboratory experiments, brutal killing for hunts, and for their meat, etc. These animal rights are among the major concerns of present-day society.
