Rights are transactional and reciprocal. They operate by consent.

In order to transact in rights, individuals must be possessed of the faculties necessary to comprehend that which is being consented to.

Non-human animals and plants (lacking the ability to comprehend, much less consent) cannot transact in rights.

Human beings which do not have these faculties (children, the mentally ill, the profoundly retarded, etc..) also lack the ability to transact in rights. But in recognition of their human potential, we appoint a steward (typically a parent or guardian) to advocate those rights for them by proxy, until such time as they develop the capactity themselves (if ever).
