Do Animals Have Right?

This is a question that only a human would dream up. Of course they do. But we think for some reason that as a human being how on earth would an animal know what rights are?

Animals do know what rights are but they are not the same as a human right.

Animals have a right to eat off the prosper of the land in wild country and streams. Animals don't write letters to congress or parliament and ask permission they just exercise their right and go for it. No holds barred and they take just what nature will offer them. As frightening as this may sound hungry enough or angry enough they will take you also for food or revenge or whatever is in their minds.

They are not out of their minds when they attack or seek food. The animal kingdom does not have analyst in their domain like the human being. Unlike the human the animal kingdon does not feel the need to "understand" a stranger or the world at large as we are taught that we do. Or the information that we think is necessary to know before we go searching for whatever we are looking for.

The animal kingdom will largely stay clear of the other animals unless there is a territorial invasion much like humans do. If there is an adulterous situation in the mating season, the two males will fight out the situation until one wins for the female's time for reproducation. Unlike the human kingdom where the woman can put her butt into the situation and discuss this rationally and come up with a winnner and a looser in the challenge match. In the animal kingdom the female seems to know what her place is in this situation and she just waits for the winner to aspire. There is no thought on her part if this is "the one" she wants it is a given that the winner takes all. Like it or not she may be stuck with a real sexual dud but he won the match fair and square if he could fight and win for and have her for his prize. The right to fight for his lineage if you like. Today we lay down and accept ours like a bunch of weaklings in the human tribe.

Animals have a right to safety and security. It never ceases to amaze me when I drive through Algonquin Park on Highway 20 in Ontario, how many people with their young children get out of their car and stand looking at a moose either male or female. Although during the summer months it is usually the male who comes out close to the highway looking for the salt water left over from the winter road salt residue in the ditches at the side of the highway none the less they are
