There are lots of ways to express how we should treat eachother (and animals), other than "Rights".

Being able to think outside of the existing paradigm of rights based thinking is not something that is "wrong" it is actually more 'considered' than knee jerk assertions.

crap sorry I meant to upvote you but misclicked and downvoted you. I'll go upvote a random different post of yours to compensate.

I'll also add that animals can feel 'pain'. The world is a better place with less overall pain.
