Like, extra rights, you mean? Because lots of countries recognize animal rights.

I think lots of countries enforce things like animal welfare but animals are property, they don’t have “rights” you’re just required to not abuse them, and often the definition of “not abusive” is still pretty abusive/negligent

That's great, but I wish it was the rights of Animals, but I'm sure that's unpopular because it would either make meat unavailable or make it 50% more expensive because companies have to be ethical now
