For my paper that I will be extending,  I have taken one that Ive written for Professor Aaron Rizzieri English class on animal rights. I chose to extend this paper because I feel if I tried harder, I could find more information and expand my thoughts on how I feel about the treatment and mistreatment of animals. I find that we shouldn't mistreat and abuse animals but we should be able to kill them for food. Not everyone would agree that we should kill chickens or cows just because we choose to survive and make a living that way, but some people like me do believe that its okay to kill the common farm animal in order to survive. For my further research, I will take a chance in looking up other peoples opinions on how we treat these popular farm animals such as cows and chickens and if they agree or disagree with our common way of surviving. Ive already gave my opinion in which i believe that its okay to kill cows and chickens and pigs, as long as we are not torturing them.I will also research on how exactly farm animals are treated before they are packed and ready to go. Are they beaten and tortured, or are they slowly and peacefully put to sleep with a needle? My further questions I would like to be answered are:

Do many people agree that animals should have as many rights and humans, and if so, should they be treated equally and have the same amount of rights and us humans do?
Also, should the people who do mistreat animals be put in jail or punished? We may not all agree on how animals should be treated. Vegetarians for instance will disagree that we should kill animals even if they are put peacefully to sleep. My research will extend on the previous research I have already used for this essay, and will include future research and information.
