Somehow they manage to get the bird or animal to a rehabilitator, even though finding one is often a feat in itself. For one – and we’ll stick with this one issue for now – because sometimes the public decides to keep the animal they have found, just for a little while. To these people, we owe our gratitude.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. They don’t need to be professional bird killers either, predators only need to be in the right place at the right time. Migrant birds make an incredibly perilous journey, twice per year.

The issue as to who or what may be a possessor of rights is not simply a matter of academic, conceptual interest.

The sleight of hand that gave us the “selfish” gene gives us the rights of baboons. By abusing evolutionary biology in this way, we are able to read back the sophisticated conduct of people into the animal behavior that prefigures it. It is not that they do no wrong, but that “right” and “wrong” here make no sense.
