Lol animal rights.

How can animals have rights? They don't talk.

Mute people have rights too, and those who can't communicate at all:p

My international human rights law professor put it this way: All rights give rise to responsibilities. If animals have rights, does that mean they have legal responsibilities too?

That's an interesting argument. I've always understood rights to be something 'given' without any direct cost, but with lots of hidden ones. Something like luxuries were before we had terms like social responsibility.
