Comparing the rights and welfare position by showing it's position on morality, benefits, interests, pain and humane treatment.

Got this from the ARF (Animal Rights Fund) Newsletter and thought it could be useful as an image.

	The Rights Position	The Welfare Position
Morality	Using animals is morally wrong.	Using animals is morally right.
Benefits	We should not use animals to benefit ourselves.	We can use animals to benefit ourselfves.
Interests	We should not invariably overrule the interests of animals with human interests.	Our interests are always more important than the interests of animals.
Pain	We should not inflilct pain or death on animals.	We should not cause animals "unnecessary" pain or death.
Humane Treatment	We should always treat animals humanely and eliminate the human made causes of animal suffering.	We should treat animals as humanely as convenient to us.
