No, because neither of those things is speech. You say "speak" to a dog and the dog barks. All the parties seem to think it's speech. But my point in comparing dogs and brooks with corporations is whether they have standing under the constitution. If they don't have standing, then their speech isn't protected. If you think that corporations have standing because the people who inhabit them have standing, then brooks have standing because people swimming in them have standing. Not!
