It's a serious, litigious<sp> brainer here. So, just for clarity, what
side of the river are you on?

I am a human. So humans come first. If human existence is threatened by lesser animals' existence, well, nature is the law of the jungle and we are the rulers of the jungle. I, my family, my community and my fellow citizens drink before the critters.
Look again at how long you'd survive without the balance of critters. Human existence is also threatened by loss of that balance. Overabundance of only critters who live with man (vermin.) In order to pee in our drinking water? To monocrop grass plants we won't eat? To have our cars shine w protectorants on the sun vulnerable surface instead of dirt. To wash and recoat daily our colors of skin and hair? To meet "codes" of processing public dishes and cloth?
Law of the jungle is a species who overuses suffers and dies til they either decrease population to a level of sustainability with their exploitive living or they become extinct. Which ones are your fellows who drink with you? Do you direct your judges and lawyers to revamp codes and laws designed without water use in mind or just add new? Lawyers and Judges serve a part of human interaction equivalent to vermin. They need to be treated appropriately. One might have a mouse go into a box a hand can't fit in to remove a lost seed but to give them a full box of seeds and trust them to distribute it fairly among all members of the household is just silly.
