What is this homogenous collection of ethical considerations that these guys think all humans get?

Does this mean we need to educate them about the rights of other sentient beings?  Do we need to police and enforce those rules, and punish misbehavior?  Is their system of reproduction via rape a violation of other dolphins' rights?  Do we need dolphin prisons (other than Seaworld?)

You know what?  Yeah, let's give dolphins human rights!  Let's do it just after we successfully allow all people to have their human rights met, okay?

when dolphins evolve into humans, then they can have human rights.

Yeah, and we can worry about the environment once everyone has a job. And we can worry about sexism once we've fixed racism. And we can worry about racism once we've ended all the wars.

But for real, I think "human rights" is a bullshit idea. What does that even mean?

"Humans have an inalienable right to vote." You know, unless they live someplace where they can't vote. Then someone totally alienated that right. So I guess it's alienable.

My point exactly. Rights without responsibilities is never a good idea, right?

Is there something wrong with me that I enjoy that image?  That I suddenly want sushi?

If Wombat's right, the next time you go body surfing you might find yourself being pushed out to sea.

I made a similar point in a paper I wrote for a philosophy of ecology class, and the professor was all, "that's a very good point." Legit.

I lost her though when I starting discussing how delicious dolphin flesh is.

I don't want to eat dolphins. I just want idiots to shut the fuck up about how great they supposedly are.
