Animal Rights

So, Kristen decides that her speech will be about animal rights, but she's not certain what focus the speech will take.

Her topic begins with the idea "animal rights." Since that's not a question or a statement, she brainstorms about possible ideas.

• Should animals have rights?
• What are the social benefits of animal rights laws?
• What is the history of animal rights legislation in the US?

At this point, she realizes that she doesn't really know a lot about animal rights issues. So she decides to do some general reading to get an overview of the topic.
