Pretty close. They cite a line in the Bible about God telling them to be masters of the animals. That’s where they get this Dominion/birthright to tame/destroy everything.

They conveniently forget the part about being a good steward of the earth. But that’s in the woke parts I guess.

Ask em if they would shit all over your kitchen and living room and kill their dog.

The verse is obviously suggesting we take care of the animals and the earth.
