Dear Zhelanea,

I am happy to read about your post about “Should animals have legal person rights?”. I think animals should have the same rights we do. They should not be considered as things when they are living. I believe that they should be considered as animals. I think this is interesting “they believe these chips, elephants, and bears have the capacity to understand what is going on.” I find this interesting because animals do understand whats going on so they should not be considered as things. And people should be less divided on this topic and be more towards the animals having rights.

Dear Zhelanea,

I am very intrigued about your post, “Should animals have legal rights?” because it’s a topic that I don’t hear discussed very often. I think it’s very important to protect animals as much as we can, considering there are many species going extinct due to different factors that are human-caused. Animals also don’t have anyone to speak up for them which is why I think animals should have rights. A sentence from your post that stood out to me was, “They argue that they have capacities that include self-awareness, autonomy, language, culture, and are able to plan their future.”. I thought this was interesting because it’s something I didn’t know about other animals. Thank you for writing. I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Dear Zhelanea:
I was very intrigued by you post, “What is climate change causing” because this is a topic I haven’t seen many people talk about. Reading about climate change made me think so much about what can occur in the future. If we don’t start doing something about this situation we can probably end the human race. I never realized there was many people getting affected by this already. I like that you also mentioned some ways we can start making a change in our world. Thank you for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you will write about next.
