Subject: RE: BS: Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare
Mrrz, that doesn't work.
"Animal Rights" is problematic to begin with. Animals don't have rights. Persons have rights, but personhood can't be conveyed onto non-human entities in order to convey rights. The only non-human person-type entity to also have rights are corporations. (And that's an odd evolution there, cooked up by rich people to protect their assets.)
