I suppose in your thinking, animals, such as your Avatar, do NOT have the same rights as those stated in this country's founding documents...Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...are not ALL creatures then endowed with same rights....
You can not have it both ways...either all Life has these rights, or none of it does...that these rights are but figments of the collective human imagination...
But one might say that MAN is somehow different, special...that he is afforded the gift to murder and consume his fellow creatures at his pleasure because this is the plan of some obscure oriental despot/ deity...I beg to differ.

I said that it is stated in those documents is an objective fact.

Second, factually the idea of inalienable rights is stated in the Declaration of Independence and memorialized in the Bill of Rights. Those are provable objective facts.

Do you have a comprehension problem? It is an objective fact you will find the idea of inalienable rights stated in and memorialized.
And yes man can have it both ways. No animals do not have the same rights or you would not be betting on horses racing, or eating animals for food.
However, if we go by life is an accident then the animals have more rights than us. They were here first. Therefore, global warming is a good thing nature is correcting the mistake she made, in allowing man to exist.
