should animals be given equal or near equal rights to humans, animals seem to be controlled by humans rediculously.
for example when one animal begins to become dominant over another species such as grey squrrels in england, humans seem to think they have the right to play god.
another point, when animals are slaughtered on mass to prevent outbreaks of desease, why is it called 'culling' rather than slaughter, if this method of desease controll was used on humans it would be an attrocity.
if you use the argument that we are more intelligent, then if a super inteligent alien were to come to earth, it would have the right to kill us at whim, by our logic anyway
I would like to hear your oppinionson this.
