Welcome to the Animal Rights Frequently Asked Questions text. This list of 96 FAQ is intended to satisfy two basic goals:
a) to provide a source of information and encouragement for people exploring the issues involved in the animal rights movement, and
b) to answer the common questions and justifications offered up by AR opponents.
The questions have been divided into categories to simpifly things for you.

Opponents of AR are invited to create a FAQ that codifies their views; we do not attempt to do so here. The FAQ restricts itself specifically to AR issues; nutrition and other vegetarian/veganism issues are intentionally avoided because they are already well covered in the existing vegetarianism and veganism FAQs maintained by Michael Traub.
To obtain these FAQs, contact Michael at his e-mail address given below. The FAQ was created through a collaboration of authors. The answers have been attributed via initials, as follows:
