You make a very good point. Nowhere on any of the screens is the directive showing us how to be in the world, as being in the world is a value judgment. Stalin very rationally created a society that wonderfully sustained his vision of humanity. We (all the We, not you and me, I assume) cannot agree on how humanity lives best in the world. Clearly, we have not mastered how to maximize life supporting cultures for even our own species. Time and again we have created chaos, misery, inequities, and we have appealed to what many of us would describe as the most selfish and base human traits (notice I didn't say animal instincts!). So, in many ways a discussion of what protections (if "rights" is too loaded of a word) to afford to animals, even animals close to us in DNA, is still lost in the cacophony of agreeing on basic human protections, or rights.

I would posit that our position in nature makes it our responsibility to care for every aspect of the planet and its inhabitants, since we have usurped all natural functions, but so far we are so not up to the job because we can't even manage ourselves.
