I think the thing about this Abbey, is they already have protected right's about the things you highlighted...
At least I think they do..??
I'm all for protecting them from those things also..
But I'm not sure how you can give an animal, human rights??
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
