He is so handsome. And I think he has the right to show the world just how handsome he is. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing - vanity!

I think the article brings up a really interesting question about the legal rights of animals.
It seems contradictory in some ways that we could argue for the right of one animal to own a photo he took, yet other large animals have no legal right to their own lives & are killed to be eaten.
Not trying to cast a moral judgement as I am a meat eater too. Just saying it is interesting where all this will take us in the future.
