See my post on responsibilities. We do have a certain duty of care, within our society. But those 'rights' were extended by society, and can be taken away, and are not evidence that animals have intrinsic rights that we must respect.

Correct. But they are as I described them, and do not exist in the absence of society. Also correct. And as I said, they are not universal. Nice to meet you.
