> I feel like stirring up some controversy, this is a topic I feel semi-strongly about, and I've got some free time on my hands, so I've decided to post about animal rights. Basically, my feeling about it is that animals have no rights and the very idea is silly to me. If it benefits mankind in some way, I see no problem with harming some animals.

So then is it okay to hook a cat up to a car battery because you think it would be funny? You could claim some benefit from that...
