If cats and dogs became as intelligent as humans, should they have the same rights as humans under law? (sopuli.xyz)

Sorry if my question was weird.

And no, I am not some human's pet that just became intelligent and took over their Lemmy account. 😺

They should, but they wouldn’t.

We can’t even get fair treatment for humans.

Not to mention, people can’t even see past cultural veils… pigs are smarter than dogs, and people who would never eat a dog have no second thoughts eating pigs and mocking vegetarians/vegans.
