We are likely thinking about the same thing. My perspective is that all of creation has the right to be cared for in a humane way by humans. Humans have responsibility toward and for all of creation. No conflict, no contradiction until you start anthropomorphising beasts. What is right is right period, and it is never in contradiction to some other right. For example the pig farmer joe mentioned may claim the right to raise hogs and any dang way he wants to do his business and make money. However, we know good and well when he has crossed the line of what is right in his treatment of the pigs. His right to make money as a farmer does not out weight the responsibility he has to treat pigs in a humane manner. If he is treating them inhumanely or polluting the earth in the process, he has violated the right of the earth and the pig. He has no right to do that no matter what he claims.
