animals do not get rights because they are not as intelligent as us.

robots do not get rights because they are not organic like us.

but animals are organic and robots are more intelligent than us. LOGIC FLAW

according to Aristotle it's their capacity for human rationality. I guess the practical sense is we value killing insects less than mammals and destroying more economically valuable property than less valuable.

the interesting question is: suppose you witness a homeless bum strangling your family pet. if you don't act, the dog will die by his hand. do you have a moral and also a legal right to kill that man to save your pet dog?
