Saying "only humans have rights'' is specious and hubristic. What so called "right" gives us as a species to destroy the planet through exploitation, extraction, pollution, overpopulation, and all the things that we've done to bring us to the brink of ecological disaster? One person's so called 'right' to, for instance, pour pesticides into a river destroys another person's right to have clean water.

IF it is trap, as one poster shrieks, maybe it's the trap for the yob who insists he has rights and an ecosystem does not.

If god exists, when she returns, she's going to be awfully pee'ed off at how we've destroyed her planet. Cry for your rights then, yob.
