Except that there's no such thing as rights for animals. Legally and rationally it is objectively impossible for animals to bear and exercise rights. At most, they'll get some protection. So, you start with a wrong premise - Not to mention you're equating freedom with life

I dislike animal cruelty and it sickens me, I'm using a legalistic conception of rights - Animals don't have intelligence or means to exercise and use rights like we do, not to mention most rights/duties are not applicable to animals. When the dog goes for a walk, he doesn't go because he's exercising the right to move himself, he goes out of instinct and obedience to the owner
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
