No they are not.
There are no such things as innate rights. There are legal and customary rights,which can be (and are) taken away at the whim of the powerful. That makes them privileges.
You may well disagree. In that case please explain the origins of such rights and the universal, external moral authority which decides,imposes and enforces such rights..

Well not necessarily. I think our laws may be a bit different. We are obliged to stick to children under 3 years.We usually marinate them with a base of decent red wine for 2 days.( in the fridge, turning occasionally)
Waste not want not;we use the parents for dog food and compost..
