If society deemed it to be correct that some animals or plants have intrinsic rights (such as rights to be left undisturbed or rights to be reasonably protected), then such rights can be protected by imposing them as constraints on what is legitimate human behaviour. Do humans appear to regard whales as having intrinsic rights, and if so, what rights are these? In what ways, if at all, do humans defend these rights by imposing constraints on human behaviour?
Answer:
Yes, I believe that whales have intrinsic right and the rights are discussed as follows and humans must protect these rights by imposing constraints on human behavior-
1. The freedom of movement and residence within the natural environment.
2. The right to life and liberty respected.
3. Illegal hunting must be totally prohibited.
4. The right to injure or harass them or destruct their habitat in anyway.
