Children and Annimals do not have rights - Discuss
This is an odd one I picked up from some place in the dim and distant past.
The argument goes like this
You can not have rights without responsibilities.
Since animals and young children do not have responsibilities in law, then children and animals do not have any rights whatsoever.
Adults may have a duty of care, but that is a different matter.
Anyone else heard of this argument?
Does it philosophically hold water?
