[edit] Is Animal Liberation the same as Animal Rights?

The edit of [1] states that:

Animal liberation is ... also known as the animal rights movement, although many activists who call themselves liberationists do not subscribe to the idea that animals have moral rights that should be protected.

Since there are animal liberationists who do not subscribe to the tenets of animal rights, it appears incorrect to refer to the two movements as the same.

Changing text to not identify animal liberation with animal rights.

I was about to move this article to Animal Liberation (book) and remove the text about the movement. We already have a page called Animal liberation that's a redirect to Animal rights. It's not ideal, but is there enough published material to write intelligently about the difference between animal liberation and animal rights?
