Species, subspecies, breeds.
Any of them will do.

Sorry, no - they're not the same.


Do farm animal breeds have any rights?

Breeds don't have rights. Animals individually don't have rights.


Do you think it is possible
for us to give them some?

Animals? No.


How about robots?

No.


How about human families?

Families do not have rights.


Actually in the old days,
certain families were given monopoly rights
in many cultures.

The family didn't hold the right. The head of the family held it.
