Yeah they should. Just because they don't speak and don't walk like humans, doesn't mean they should be treated differently. We should treat them better than how e respect humans becuase we are destroying the place they live in- Earth.

But then again, we shouldn't treat animals with the same respect as humans. Look at the world these days when humans hurt animals for fun and steal other peoples' belongings. Look at all the wars in the world. We should treat animals with the respect they deserve which is returning their forests, woods and space. Treat them by stopping to polute our homes. Treat them better than we treat them now.

Scientifically humans are animals, so they should be treated the same as us in respect of quality of life including freedom from pain and torture and cruelty, we came from apes, and have still a lot of ape and animal behaviors ie grooming, territorial, pack, hunter, gatherer, procreational and survival instinct.
Because life out in the world can stressful and humans crave loyalty and peace which they don't seem to get amongst their own kind. Most of us are seldom accepted for our true selves, yet a cat or dog doesn't care what we look like or if we are popular, handicapped, mentally challenged, etc. They just love us! The are loyal, honorable, comforting. It is said that people with loving pets and those that love them will live longer lives and I believe that.
I don't dress my pets up in clothing as some people do (each to their own) but give them lots of love and treat them well and in turn they look after our home, property, give us a lot of laughs and great entertainment and are of great comfort when we are sick. At the end of the day I love being with my two dogs and my cat and I feel a peaceful wave come over me. At last! I can be me and I don't have to listen to orders or upsetting remarks that sometimes we all have to take during the course of a day.
Children, the elderly and animals should all be looked up too and treated well because they count on us to protect them when they can't protect themselves.
