Are we our own worst enemy?

Are there links to the Civil Rights Movement? I don't see it, for the Zoo or for the animal. Right now the best protection under the law the animal has is that he/ she is seen as property, wether we like that 'morally' or not. It protects our partners from random access by anyone for any purpose they choose. Given equal rights our partners could wander into any form of danger. We, whether we want to admit it or not, already have equal rights under the law.

The most obvious link is that am being prevented from using or enjoying my property as I desire.     That is a taking.    




It could also be argued that the law in Texas is ex post facto in my case because I had my horse and had an established relationship with him before the law was passed in Texas.




And the law violates both Constitutional restrictions (favors a religion) and Supreme Court precedent (Lawrence v Texas)
