A new Associated Press poll has found wide support for beliefs usually identified with a tiny minority of radical animal-rights activists.Two-thirds of the 1,004 Americans polled agree with a basic tenet of the animal-rights movement: "An animal's right to live free of suffering should be just as important as a person's right to live free of suffering."Two-thirds also say it's seldom or never right to use animals in testing cosmetics; 59% say killing animals for fur is always wrong, and 51% say sport hunting is always wrong.

The poll was taken Nov. 10-14 by ICR Survey Research Group of Media, Pa., part of AUS Consultants. Its margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.The AP poll reinforces other statistics that show declines in hunting, consumption of red meat and use of animals in research.
