  animal "rights" make as much sense as bacteria rights, plant rights. animal "rights" is nothing but neo-paganism, neo-animism. a worship of animals, believing they have "spirits" and "souls". except modern day the concept of spirits and souls aren't seen as so scientific any more so this ridiculous animal "rights" is invented so those "activists" can feel better and feel justified in their moral crusade coz their pathological empathy which somehow extends to animals is somehow "violated"
context: Unfortunately a big culture of this in Portugal, I found my dog when I was living out there my neighbours dog just had a litter they chose their favourites and threw the remainder in the local bin, wife and I found these two little dudes when we were out for a walk >
  
  
  According to public prosecutors, the court has already made decisions that pointed to the alleged unconstitutionality of the legislation. On one occasion, a dog owner who threw his puppies into a rubbish bin was initially convicted but later acquitted.

  This is so backward for an EU nation. Didn't know animal cruelty can't be a crime. >
  
  I've seen how south korean torture dogs to make them more delicious. Nothing trumps torturing animals to make them more tasty. >
