Read the negative position from "Animal Rights Debate." It is clear that humans are superior to animals, and therefore animals should not have the same rights as human beings. The Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that only humans have the ability to reason. Animals only have instincts to guide them. Therefore, they are not sentient, or thinking, beings like humans are. In addition, humans show their superiority to animals through control. Humans have superior abilities that allow them to raise animals for a variety of uses. Human beings are in control of animal life, making animal rights unnecessary.

Which statement best uses the ideas of the negative position to provide an affirmative rebuttal?

Animals can show humanlike traits, such as cooperation and the use of tools.

The purpose of animals is to be either consumed or used, regardless of whether they can reason with others.

Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better

Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.

Explanation:

A rebuttal is a way of contesting an earlier statement, showing facts that prove that the previous statement is not correct, but has inconsistencies and therefore cannot be considered.

An example of this can be seen in the question that presents a text that states that animals do not need rights, since they are not able to reason and reflect. In this case, it is possible to refute this claim by claiming that even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.

idk that a good answer

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
