does ANY industry have a right to exist?

@kathimmel "Rights" are a human construct, so the answer is: it depends on who you ask
@JeffC1956 i'm asking anyone who cares to answer (even if i've already made up my mind & it's a largely rhetorical question from the start). :)
not sure that i agree that rights, in general, are a human construct. i mean, okay...in the sense that we've named them, maybe, but i believe that there are some universal 'rights' that are observed & exercised outwith the human species.
@kathimmel It would be nicer certainly if the folks who regulate and license businesses did much more to ensure those businesses avoid damaging ecosystems. Regulatory and government capture is a significantly larger problem than it seems.
@JeffC1956 indeed! :) can't argue with that.
