What is done with it, is "O.K." to be done to humans after a while as well. At least that seems to have been the custom in human history. It is naive to expect that nothing similar could happen in the future. Wars and genocide are only so common, because both phenomenons have a blueprint in the handling of non human animals. Exactly this is the deeper meaning of Leo Tolstoj's famous quote: "As long as there are slaughter houses, there will be battle fields." If human rights should really endure in the long run, then animal rights also must really be established. Otherwise common morals and ethics will slowly decay because of our barbaric treatment of non human animals, until there will be nothing left of it and pure violence will be the only thing that counts. A party that is used to treating non human animals completely arbitrary will not treat humans any different, as long as it believes that it has enough power to get away with it, - because all its scruples have been totally trained away by its ruthless treatment of non human animals. Therefore the absence of effectively implemented animal rights constitutes a massive security risk for all humans living on our planet today as well as in the future. The time has come to make clear to mankind, that we are basically playing Russian roulette if we refuse to grant non human animals basic rights. At least we, we don't want to play along in this game.
