Question

Ashoka ensured that there was proper medical treatment for humans as well as for humans. He loved animals and taught his people to care for them. Do you think animals deserved to be treated the same way as humans?

Accepted Answer

There is constant ethical discussion surrounding the subject of whether animals should receive the same treatment as humans.

Some contend that because of their ability to sense pain and emotion, animals should be treated equally to humans. They support recognising the rights and welfare of animals, encouraging compassionate treatment, and preventing needless suffering.

Others contend that there are fundamental distinctions between humans and animals, such as moral agency or cognitive capacity, that call for special consideration. Since, animals lack some capabilities that humans have, they must be given special treatment.

Therefore, cultural standards, religious beliefs, and individual preferences all have an impact on how animals are treated.
