animal rights movement
Let an agent explain the animal rights movement, relay its philosophical bases, welfare-versus-rights distinction, campaigns and debates from ethics and social movement sources with all positions attributed, describe the named labels, and distinguish the animal rights movement from animal welfare as a position, conservation, veganism as a practice and the animal-industry perspective, without advocacy.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the animal rights movement, relay its philosophical bases, welfare-versus-rights distinction, campaigns and debates from ethics and social movement sources with all positions attributed, describe the named labels, and distinguish the animal rights movement from animal welfare as a position, conservation, veganism as a practice and the animal-industry perspective, without advocacy.
A social movement that seeks to change how animals are treated, ranging from animal welfare positions that aim to reduce suffering while accepting some animal use to animal rights positions, sometimes called animalism, that argue animals have moral rights that should limit or end their use by humans; the registry aliases name animal protectionism as a broader label. The movement campaigns on farming, research, entertainment, hunting and companion animals, using advocacy, law reform and, in some fringe cases, controversial direct action, and its philosophical bases and tactics are debated, with positions of advocates, industries and critics attributed.
What it is for: Not applicable; a social movement.
It can be explain philosophical bases; relay campaigns; describe named labels; present debates with attribution.
