Extropians and animal rights

The majority of extropians on this list are in favour of perfect human
inviolability (ie people never have the right to affect another person
without their permission - except in self defence).

I'd be interested to hear peoples opinions on the rights of animals. Do you
believe that animals have no rights and can be ignored, that animals have a
sliding scale of rights based upon their intelligence, or some other system?
