npub1x2wwkdfd0373dehk20ghjfh2at6vwah4qfsw7d2sk0qfqp7us6uquh52a8 (npub1x2w…52a8) Can these "rational" animals understand property rights?
Rights are not given, they are simply consequences of the nature of specific beings. Since we own ourselves, we can derive that we can also mix our labor with resources and enter into contracts with each other.
The same clearly does not apply to animals. Why is sentience a better criterion? Do people in comas have no rights? Do lice have rights?
