It makes sense to say corporations have responsibilities though, unlike animals. Maybe you're saying the responsibility part isn't necessary?
I agree with your thought, but not sure how to make the responsibility part fit in.

I doubt it. Look at corporate personhood and how it applies to Citizens United, being able to sue and tax a corporation, etc. Also look at how conservation protections have been put in place over the years compared to corporate protections. Treating corporations as a "person" opened the doors for a lot of simpler legal tools.
