types meaning philosophies?
There is a common confusion between the idea of animal welfare and animal rights. Animal welfare is the idea that animals should be treated humanely, but humans should have the right to use them for their own advancement and benefit. Animal rights and animal welfare are entirely different.
Within the concepts of animal rights, there is specieism, painism, animal liberation, veganism, vegetarianism, and more. Animal rights activists will not share 100% of the same ethics, but in general they believe that animals should have the same basic rights as humans; the right to live without fear, pain, or violence. To live outside of captivity. To not be eaten. To be given respect, legal protection, etc.
