        abstract = {The ethical treatment of animals has become a significant concern in contemporary society, reflecting a shift towards recognizing animals as sentient beings deserving of respect. This topic explores the moral, scientific, and social dimensions of animal rights, emphasizing the need for humane practices across various sectors, including agriculture and research. Legally it must make reasonable efforts to minimize the discomfort, infection, illness, and pain of animal subjects used in research. Animals should only be subjected to procedures causing pain or stress when absolutely necessary and justified by the research goals. Understanding the relevance of animal rights involves examining the interconnectedness of animal welfare with environmental sustainability, human health, and ethical responsibility. By treating animals with respect, we not only enhance their well-being but also promote a more compassionate and just society. To ensure that all individuals using animals in research have received proper instruction in animal maintenance and handling. In summary, while the precise nature and scope of animal rights is debated, there is a strong ethical argument that animals have a fundamental right to be treated with respect and to avoid suffering, which should be upheld in research and all areas of human-animal interaction. As an individual and society as a whole have an obligation to protect this right.},
