Have you considered that sugar syrup is very sweet though? Who can say what is right or wrong? On one hand we have creatures that play, do maths, communicate, organise themselves into communities that make humans seem like shut-ins, seemingly recognise faces of different species, navigate really well, and show remarkable tendencies to resolving conflict non-violently.

On the other hand sugar syrup.

So uhhh, idk if I can really respect the idea of giving them rights.
