The Giant Laughingthrush is a bit of a disappointment in that it is not really big enough to eat you (or even a pet cat), even though that is what one would expect from an animal with the Giant part in its name.

What if all else fails and there are definitely no parents around? Pet stores sell mealworms in small plastic containers, which will do the the trick until the rehabber takes over; just make sure they are tiny little mini-mealworms, and not the big mean ones that can actually bite you and which would make short work of a nestling songbird.

And of course, the definition of whatever is being measured--in this case intelligence--is our version of intelligence. If the assessment that dogs have a certain level of intelligence or are like us results in them being treated better as pets or people wanting to profit from them less, great.

My pet turtle does not exercise, at his option, any rights over itself, things, or people. Some philosophers admit rights only for beings who are capable of choice, and this is reflected in definitions of 'rights' as 'ranges of action' or 'spheres of autonomy'. If animals have rights, then these are welfare rather than option-rights.
