Think from two perspectives - What do non-human animals do for us and what do we do for non-human animals. Why does any of this matter and to whom does it matter?

This week's question for circle has to do with animals living in a "human world". Discuss your feelings about animal rights. Are other animals just as important as human animals. What rights do they have? What rights do we have? Do we have rights over them?
