rights are derived from the capacity to reason, and thus people have rights and animals do not.
Questionable. It is absurd to assert the higher animals do not have at least some consciousness. It has been demonstrated that they (and some of their "lesser") relatives can solve problems and fashion and use tools. Where now no reason?

Legally, since people have rights and animals don't
Then the Law, Sir, is an ass.

And humans, the beneficiaries of that cruelty, get to make the laws. How would you expect them to come out? You ever see a cow in a voting booth?

Legally, vegetarianism should not be enforced by the government for the same reason.
That I will agree with.
