authoritarian overreach

Like deciding what animals live and die?

Stop projecting.

Like deciding what animals live and die?

Yup, in most cases it is the owners of said animals that decide what happens to them, like with other property. The government trying to force (or prevent) putting an animal down would also be overreach.

The exceptions when it comes to property rights are generally when human beings are somehow endangered, which is where most rights and freedoms, sensibly, are limited.

Your whole comment comes from the selfish belief that animals should not have rights. Yet good people are fighting to make sure people like you don't just see them as property.

If you continue down this path, I'll laugh when people start considering you and your family as their property. Because somehow you believe you have authoritarian power over animals.
