A very interesting
article on CNN. Although it is linked to well known case of highway dog killing Leo, it open a subject of animal rights.
A quote from the article:
Sentient creatures have value in their own right. As philosopher
Jeremy Bentham said of animals: "The question is not can they reason
nor can they talk, but, can they suffer?" A living creature who is
capable of pain and pleasure is entitled to our respect and to
protection from our abuses. This is true whether or not that creature
is human.
