I agree.
And once a roach crosses my threshold, he has the responsibility to pay rent or ....
Same with spiders.
And crickets.
And mice.
And any other critters who show up.

Why doesn’t Salmonella enteritidis have rights? What about necrotizing fasciitis? We need to outlaw hand soap and spread as much contagion as possible! Bacteria are starving!

Such are the pleasures, I fear, that await you in the U.S. when your new president and his rag-bag of socialist hangers-on and politically correct bleeding hearts start getting properly into their stride.We're on the same road, just a few miles behind the UK.

My cats share a food dish, a litter box and sometimes animosity. In fact they also share a water bowl with a dog. Horrors!
One good thing about a depression, should it arrive, is that nonsense laws like those described in this article will be quickly left in the dust as priorities realign due to pesky details like survival.
Special rights for cockroaches and rodents? Please. Congress is arrogant enough as it is!

Endangered or threatened? Feds review pocket gopher protection request
Also, they are trying to split 'blacktailed prairie dogs' into separate 'populations', then impose restrictions on each 'population', just like they did salmon: treat each 'population' as if it were a separate species.
Some years ago, Washington state passed an initiative bill outlawing trapping written by the Greenies, with full assurance that they could be believed that it wouldn't apply to rats, mice, gophers, and other vermin pests. Guess what! The Greenies lied, and I've read articles of prosecutions for trapping vermin with 'cruel, lethal traps', instead of live traps for 'release to the wild'.

GREEN RIVER — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to conduct a year-long status review of the Wyoming pocket gopher to see if the animal requires federal endangered species protections.

You try to make your cat vegetarian by denying it meat. What about the animal who's rights are abrogated by forcing it to be eaten?

I was given the job of getting rid of it. Which I did, in a typically cowardly way, by releasing it into our local park.
Once you take an animal into your house as a pet, you are responsible for caring for that animal in a humane way. If you cannot do that, it is your responsibility to find it another home, take it to an animal shelter, or have it euthanized. Releasing a domesticated animal to fend for itself is a cruel thing to do. The author of this article should be ashamed of himself. I have no problem with a law that forbids cruelty to animals...this one included.
No one forces you to get a pet. Once you do, you are responsible for its well-being and there is no excuse for neglect or cruelty.

Suppose I kept a pet amoeba: could I be imprisoned for being cruel to one of those?

Really, what is animal rights?
It’s the right of some humans to not have their sensibilities hurt by the way you treat your animals.
Just imagine where this will lead if everyone’s sensibilities is to be protected by the force of the state!

Don’t worry about any of this. Once Sharia is established in the UK, the socialists and Peta-people will all be skewered on the same sticks the muzzies roast their goats on, the women will all be circumcised, burka’d and slapped into submission (with maybe one or two — won’t take more — stoned to death in the public square as a lesson to all).
After that, there will be no more silliness. All will be Allah.
