I just don't see the relevance when every animal has the right to live when we have to kill thousands of organisms to breathe or have to kill another animal to survive. If I don't kill the deer, my children will starve to death, violating their rights. If I kill the deer, I violate it's right. It is always a lose-lose situation.

The way nature works is if I protect my right to live, I will have to deprive another animal of its right to live.

From looking at nature from this perspective there is no evidence that nature will enforce any right of life to any animal seeing that we need to kill to live.

The only way to break free for this reality is too say humans are better than other animals which has no proof in nature as well. A tornado will kill a human just as quickly as it will kill a dog.
