Animals do not have rights.
Those of you who think they do are wrong.

Nope. That would be wrong. That should be punished.

Some locales are changing their laws to include animal rights. You may disagree with that approach, but your claim is no longer universal.

All I've seen are laws protecting animals from being abused. But I've not seen any laws that talk about the rights of animals. Have you?

Yes, but even abuse doesn't violate any right that an animal doesn't possess. Certainly abusing an animal is wrong. But it's not because abusing an animal violates some "right" of that animal.
The bigger question is WHY is abuse of an animal something that is wrong, to begin with?
And that brings up a second question, about if we're going to talk about abusing an animal, then killing it for our own pleasure (tastes good to us to consume its dead flesh) -- wouldn't that fall into the "abuse" category?
Bottom line is that animals are property of those who possess them legally. And the government passes laws about what you can/cannot do with your own property, for the good of society as a whole.
But it's not about the rights of your property.

At least I have good news to share. And I also frequently (not always, but often) discuss issues within a post, using more than one line replies. To the contrary, you consistently, and most frequently, only have negative parroting points and half-sentence comebacks.
And you don't think logically, most of the time, either.

You would think that. It's simply because you're a reprobate.
And also, if you REALLY don't "want to discuss the goings on of this thread" then prove it.

When you start discussing, and I quote "Agreed. But don't be a dick to them...Or put one in them."
You have moved to crazy town...allowing threads like this: Do. Not. Do. This.

What are rights? Animals live and die in their environment.
