https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle

The NAP is an ethical stance that aggression is inherently wrong. "Aggression" is defined as initiating or threatening any forcible interference with an individual or individual's property.

So, libertarians and anarcho-capitalists will say that the NAP applies to humans.

Does it apply to animals?

If not, name the trait.

If so, go vegan.

It's a good hypothetical because it's making you realize "species" isn't a good reason to deny the NAP to some creature.

Here's it another way: Could Luke deny Yoda the NAP because they're not the same species?
