Some people argue that each individual animal has an intrinsic right to survival
Should this right extend to plants and microorganisms? What about the Anopheles mosquito, which transmits malaria, or tigers that sometimes kill people in India? What about bacteria that causes typhoid fever? Defend your position.
Answers to this question will vary. Asking about the release of domesticated cats and dogs into the wild rather than resorting to euthanasia might be an additional interesting question to pose. Is it better for the cat or dog to be released to fend for itself, killing wild animals (one of the largest causes of death among song birds is predation by cats), and dying unpleasantly after a possible short life (cats and dogs will be eaten by coyotes, cats will be injured by raccoons, etc.)?
