By Professor Gary L.Francione
Professor Francione argues that the property status of animals renders meaningless animal welfare laws that prohibit the infliction of “unecessary” suffering and require the “humane” treatment of nonhumans. Professor Francione’s book, Animals, Property, and the Law (Temple University Press, 1995), provided the first legal analysis of the property status of animals and was described by Tom Regan as a “work of unquestionable historic importance.”

I think this is the fundamental issue. As long as animals are property, they will never have any rights.
I agree with you Ana. Also, there is something very sinister, depraved and immoral when man considers 'life' to be 'property'.
Thank you for your comment.
