well since human is animal and animal has the right to eat other animal. i'm curious if human have the right to eat other human

animals cannot help themselves.. they are not morally accountable, i think it's not a matter of right for them.. rights and responsibilities go together.. men are granted rights by God, moreover we have the capacity of exercising moral judgment and accepting moral responsibilities.. specifically, we have the right or freedom to choose to be good or evil, but we will be held accountable for the choice.. animals do not have these responsibilities, therefore they do not have the rights and will not be judged for their choices.. nor would their actions be used as basis..

oops.. i forgot

animals deserve to live according to their own natures.. free from harm, abuse, and exploitation.. this goes further than just saying that we should treat animals well while we exploit them.. or before we kill and eat them.. it says animals have the 'right' to be free from human cruelty and exploitation, just as humans possess this right..
