Why do you believe that '"we should -not- mandate that
what is in their interest be protected as a matter of right."'?

It can only be because you consider your interests to be of
more value to you than the interests of others are to - you.
Your interests being as follows: eating "meat and gravy"and
financial profits of the animal exploitation industry. Can you
derive equal satisfaction and nutritional needs from a vegan
diet? Yes, and more, and anyway there is *no* comparing
a transient sensory pleasure to the life and killing of another.
Their loss is far greater if you take a rare moment to actually
consider what it is you are demanding attached to that pound
of flesh. As for financial benefit.. there's plenty to go around.
Get a better job, like in veganic horticulture, or as mr. balloon..
