Do wolves have a right to eat?

Do wolves have a right to eat?  If so what if they can’t catch a deer or rabbit or whatever else they like to eat?

What if they are a lone wolf or in a pack, does that make it different. What about the whelps (pups) do they have the right to eat? What if their mother gets killed or is sick and can not feed them?

If so, what about the burden placed on the wolves prey? Should the deer lie down so the wolf can kill it, just because it is hungry? Conversely, does the deer have a right not be eaten?  Does it have the right to run away?

The answer is “no” the wolf does not have a right to eat; the deer does not have a right not to be eaten. However, the deer does have the right to run away and the wolf has a right to chase the deer.

But wolves, lone and in packs, do eat deer and deer do try to run away. So, what’s the point? The point is rights are inherent in nature, no matter what law is passed, wolves do not have a right to eat deer and deer can not have the right not to run away from the wolves that chase them.

A right can not impose an obligation on another and a right can not be infringed for the benefit of another.
