18,000 chickens culled in China's south after outbreak of highly pathogenic strain of virus
A striking contrast can be seen here if you compare this with the Wuhan cirus outbreak. It's a justifiable case of how animals do not and should not enjoy the same rights as man. Where the lives of mankind are threatened, the rights of animals would have to go....otherwise, we will be killing those infected with the Wuhan virus too, just like how the infected chickens are culled. In fact, as a precautionary measure, they do not just cull the infected chickens, but also chickens in the same region. By that same logic, all the people in the locked down city of Wuhan will have to be exterminated, and we're talking about millions of people here, which is just ludicrous!
To give another example, during the outbreak of the Nipah virus (in Malaysia?), a million pigs were culled in the late 1990s.....the same reason why we will not hesitate to exterminate mosquitoes for spreading dengue, zika, malaria, etc....for the simple reason that while animals are not without rights, these are not quite the same as those of humans, and they should not be lumped in the same cateogory as humans. To modify Geroge Orwell's quote a little, 'all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others'; and mankind being the superior species in the animal kingdom positioned at the apex of the food chain, is definitely in a special category of its own -- one with special/exclusive privileges....
For qns on animal rights....
