Possibility of a Referendum on Animal Lawyer Rights

Today I read an article from the CBC, that announced the possibility of a referendum in Switzerland over giving the right of attorney to animals. Apparently, the city of Zurich has this law already in place. Animal Rights activists in Switzerland want this law passed in the nation. I am announcing my complete opposition to this thought. This law makes it so animals have legal rights when it comes to a fisherman or hunter or even if you step on an ant on the sidewalk. This thought is insane.
