What is it about humans that you think justifies us having rights and other animals not to have rights. I'll say it again...you do know that we are animals, right?
I actually don't see a distinct and obvious difference. Even if I did, that's the same argument that was used to deny rights to African Americans and Women. They are inferior and therefore should not be granted the same rights as white men.
It seems natural to think that humanity is somehow special because of our rationality. However, when faced with evidence, that argument falls apart.
I guess I don't hear an argument from you...only an assumption that humans are better. Why not just cut it off at Americans?
