My view on animal rights,

According to Islam, animals are conscious of God. According to the Quran, they praise Him, even if this praise is not expressed in human language.[1][2] Baiting animals for entertainment or gambling is prohibited.[3][4] It is forbidden to kill any animal except for food or to prevent it from harming people.
The Quran explicitly allows the consumption of the meat of certain halal (lawful) animals.[2][5] Although some Sufis have practised vegetarianism, there has been no serious discourse on the possibility of interpretations of scripture that require vegetarianism.[2] Certain animals can be eaten under the condition that they are slaughtered in a specified way.[6]
Human duties in utilizing animals
According to Islam, human beings are allowed to use animals, but only if the rights of the animals are respected. The owner of an animal must do everything to benefit the animal. If the owner fails to perform their duties for the animal, the animal goes to someone else. The duties humans have to animals in Islam are based in the Quran, Sunnah and traditions.[9]
Protection of animals' physical health
Harming, disabling, injuring, or cutting out the organs from any animal is strongly prohibited.[9] Muslims may not cut the forelock, mane, or tail of a horse, because it is believed there is goodness in its forelock; its mane provides it warmth and it swats insects away with its tail.[10]
Protection of animals' sexual health
Muslims are not allowed to perform acts such as the interbreeding (as in inbreeding) of animals.[9] Muhammad forbade people from castrating animals.[11]
Preventing cruelty and maltreatment to animals
Muslims are not allowed to harass and misuse animals, which includes snatching a leaf from an ant's mouth.[12] Muslims have no right to brand animals,[13] hamstring or crucify animals before killing,[14] or burn animals even if they cause harm to humans.[15][16] Humans should obtain animal meat by a swift slaughter[17] and avoid cutting lengthwise.[18] In Islamic slaughter, the spinal cord cannot be broken. [19][9]
Avoiding punishment of animals
Muslims cannot use any equipment that injures an animal, (i.e., beating them in a circus show, forcing them to carry heavy loads, or running at extreme speeds in races) even to train them.[20] Exposure to sound is also regulated.[21][9]
Providing food
Muslims are obliged to provide food and water for any animal they see, even if the animal does not belong to them.[22] In providing food and water considerations are the quality of the provisions[23][24] and the amount of the provision based on the animal's condition and location.[25][9]
Providing sanitation
Animals' health must be respected,[26] along with food, water,[27] and shelter.[9]
Providing medication
In the event of illness, Muslims are expected to pay for the care and medication.[28][9]
Providing dwelling
From an Islamic view, the appropriate shelter for an animal has three characteristics:
Fits the animal's needs and[29] they should not be placed in an unsanitary condition on the pretext that they do not understand.
Fits the physical needs of the animal and its health and protect it from cold and heat.[30]
The dwelling of animals should not pollute the environment or spread disease to other organisms.[9][31]
Respecting animal of status
In Islam, the rights of animals are respected in both life[32] and death. Animal bodies may never be used for malicious purposes.[9]
