So then what are you saying here? "I believe asserting that they have a "right" to flap their wings, or more generally that animals have "rights" at all, is a round-about way of asserting that humans have NO right to harm them in any way, much less eat them. If chickens should be allowed to flap their wings or if preventing them from doing so is cruel, that is a judgement only man (or perhaps God, if you believe God exists) has the capacity to make." Are you simply arguing for argument's sake? I enjoy bringing ideas forward, but find that most arguments usually become less abstract and deal with facts or fallacies behind arguments. I bore quickly with lawyer-like word play. As I see it you made light of animal rights issues because you didn't like the idea of a circular argument. Circular or not, there is an ACTUAL argument to be made in favor of, or against, animal rights, and I do not believe I understand your position.
