    "How does giving a home to a companion animal prevent that same person from giving a home to a child in foster care?"  I think you are ignoring the obvious answer here - money.    also your insistence on animals having equality with humans is mind boggling to me. it is evident, at least to me, that animals are quite diferent from humans. what other sentient being mulls over ethical dilemmas?

  • Featured Idea: Animal Bill of Rights
    Tmcd commented on the article | almost 3 years ago

    First of all your use of the term "nonhuman animal" implies that animals and humans are equals. This is something I would like to be explained to me as I fail to see the logic. Secondly the idea that giving animals rights serves to lessen the value of human rights and therefore human life is a sound one. By giving animals equal rights of humans you inherently lower the value of humans.  Also you assume that animals themselves are capable of upholding these same rights in relationship to one another. For example, you must assume that wolves will recognize the right of deer to live peacefully because to do otherwise would violate the right of the deer.     Just some thoughts please respond.
