The issue of whether animals should have rights has divided the community for a long time. It is interesting to note that at the same time as William Wilberforce was arguing for the abolition of the slave trade he was also arguing for animal rights and helped to set up an organisation which eventually became be know as the RSPCA.

This great resource is designed to help students understand some of the main arguments put forward by both sides. It can be used with a range of abilities and has never failed to get my students excited, engaged, whilst improving their understanding of the topic. It be used alongside any main stream text book or video clip as a starter, mini plenary or a consolidation exercise.

When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a single page Word Document which contains a learning objective, instructions, two heading cards as well as twelve statements that can sorted to help summarise the arguments.

The aims of this lesson / activity are:

Theme: Rights and Responsibilities
Know: How are animals currently treated differently to humans?
Understand: What are the arguments for and against improving animal rights?
Evaluate: Should animals be given the same rights as human beings?
