It's a divisive topic because different people will interpret it differently.
In the environment I grew up in, 'animal welfare' meant we have no right to cause suffering. Simple.

Good. All they're doing is working on more effective and ethical solutions.

Bacon is gross anyway. I swear most people who enjoy it don't tend to eat real, minimally processed food.

It's also very unfortunate that 'animal rights' became such a divisive term, but it could be due to the fact it communicates different ideas to different people. In the environment I grew up in, 'animal welfare' was more commonly used to mean: don't cause harm or suffering, period.

It's tricky for me to know which term is more appropriate. Some animal rights groups don't believe in pets. Others believe only cats and dogs should be pets, but don't explain what they believe should happen with the thousands of exotic pets in the US alone.

If you acknowledge they are precious, surely you advocate for their right to live in good homes or sanctuaries. No sane person says anything like "children are precious, we should experiment on them" or "I love my spouse, I feed them old food from the fridge so I don't have to get sick testing it".

Nothing at all. Humans in the vast majority of societies are brainwashed from the time they're practically born to perceive animals as lesser. Many are punished for challenging that concept - both at home and in the education system. It's a deeply rooted problem.

One more thing - We had no right and have no right to run any animal experiments again. Our Science and computers now allow us to KNOW what happens when virus, accidents, diseases, occur to animals like us ! ….So close the book of history on all this wicked part of the CDC . Ty !

If you believe any form of supremacy is okay, you're no better than a Nazi.

Big yikes. If I had wanted kids, I would teach them to respect life, period. Not based on their personal interactions with individual species.
It wasn't hard for me to grasp that concept.
