I came across an article that brings up the idea of property right for wild animals. Before a developer could wipe out a habitat the rights of the animals living there would have to be considered.

It is a radical concept, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. We can't go on destroying habitats without wiping out species. We don't have the right to wipe out a species. So therefore it follows that we don't have the right to do the things that will wipe out a species.
What do you think?
