i spend time signing a lot of petitions and donate to animal rights groups.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Animal rights is the idea in which some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests\u2014such as the need to avoid suffering\u2014should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. Advocates oppose the assignment of moral value and fundamental protections on the basis of species membership alone\u2014an idea known since 1970 as speciesism, when the term was coined by Richard D. Ryder\u2014arguing that it is a prejudice as irrational as any other. They maintain that animals should no longer be viewed as property or used as food, clothing, research subjects, entertainment, or beasts of burden. Multiple cultural traditions around the world\u2014such as Animism, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism\u2014also espouse some forms of animal rights. In parallel to the debate about moral rights, animal law is now widely taught in law schools in North America, and several prominent legal scholars support the extension of basic legal rights and personhood to at least some animals. The animals most often considered in arguments for personhood are bonobos and chimpanzees. This is supported by some animal rights academics because it would break through the species barrier, but opposed by others because it predicates moral value on mental complexity, rather than on sentience alone.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "i love animals "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I love animals also.
