There is much disagreement as to whether non-human animals have rights, and what is meant by animal rights.
There is much less disagreement about the consequences of accepting that animals have rights.

No experiments on animals
No breeding and killing animals for food or clothes or medicine
No use of animals for hard labour
No selective breeding for any reason other than the benefit of the animal
No hunting
No zoos or use of animals in entertainment

The argument (grossly oversimplified) goes like this:

Human animals have rights
There is no morally relevant difference between human animals and adult mammals
Therefore adult mammals must have rights too.

They have similar levels of biological complexity
They are conscious and aware that they exist
They know what is happening to them
They prefer some things and dislike others
They make conscious choices
They live in such a way as to give themselves the best quality of life
They plan their lives to some extent
The quality and length of their life matters to them.
