 We rarely stop and think about these contradictions because they are so baked into our culture. But it is, if you do take the time, pretty bizarre that different animals have or lack rights depending on a lot of arbitrary factors, right? Are they wild or domesticated? Are they produced for food or for companionship? Are they perceived as adorable or dangerous or a nuisance? For example, like a rat in somebody's attic is bound to be treated very differently than one kept in a tank as a pet.
