Part of that wacko movement to give monkeys “rights.” Liberals hate to admit that humans are above animals.
They really do. The great victory of the Left in the classroom, particularly colleges/universities, was the abolition of the study of man. English departments abandoned Shakespeare. Philosophy departments abandoned the great philosophers of the past. History departments blotted out Western Civ, Christianity and the Christian God.
I hate to think of all the heroes who will die when the gods of the copybook headings return and of all the weasels who will live safe from the front lines.
As that is part of their rebellion against the God of the Bible, which created nature to serve man, thus it needs us not (unlike the earth worm), except to tame for better productively.
Thus we feed ourselves by so caring for it.
But besides the Romans 1 aspect of making animals equal to humans, the WP reasoning means if someone painted a picture using equipment he was not authorized to use, and the owner preserved it and displayed it, then the thief owns the copyright.
