Rights aren't granted. They just are.
daily reminder secular morality is a myth and you cannot derive morality from mere existence

Morality is a constant, but only sapient beings can recognize it. It's immoral for a fox to slowly eat a rabbit alive, but the fox doesn't know that.

Without some form of sentience to conceive of it, it never arises into being.I see morality more as the ego's way of subjectively measuring and defining the nature of suffering.
