<<Animals are individuals.>>

This is an excellent point, Nihil. And an argument as well for civil rights for animals, something which should happen in advanced, highly "civilized" societies. Out here on the Left Coast, our Humane Society is leading the crusade to change the wording from "owner" to "guardian" of our companion animals, which may seem like a small thing, but which tends to raise the general public consciousness about the issue.
