        Right to life in a preserved & uninterrupted habitat so they can carry on with their own hierarchy within their groups, yes; but rights in the same capacity as a competent adult in a civilized society, too early for that. We need to figure out how to keep them in existence first.

        Steven really needs to look at his fellow humans who need their legal rights protected first.

        I think it’s all on a spectrum. Domination in one direction tends to spread in all directions.

        There is a consciousness about how humans and animals must live together in harmony radiating the planet earth right now. I commend Mr. Wise efforts because what has been in the dark is now surrounded by a bright light signaling change.
