Our colleague Wesley J. Smith is perhaps America’s leading critic of the “Animals are People, Too” argument. The proposition is too preposterous to warrant the interest of leading media—at least not yet.

No one doubts that part of our nature is animal or that certain animals are better designed for certain purposes than are human beings. But as Smith would say, So what? Human exceptionalism is so much more.
