Would that be because they should have a species of higher intelligence look out for them?

Adrienne opened her mouth, and then closed it again. That was... an interesting idea. "I think that in part, it all comes down to basic intelligence. I highly doubt that knarls, left to their own devices, are actually mentally able to create a government." She couldn't help but laugh internally at the idea of all the little hedgehoglike creatures gathering together, wearing top hats and holding quills.

"But among species of higher intelligence, beast or being or otherwise, if possible they should have input in Wizarding Law, especially if it affects them. Like..." Adrienne said, faltering a bit as she tried to think of the words to get across what was in her mind. "The Statute of Secrecy, for example, is important, and if trolls were left to their own 'governing'," because she highly doubted they'd actually develop any government, "they'd be rampaging around killing muggles left and right. They don't have the capability to be reasoned with, though, so wizards need to make a distinction between them and beings. But then," this was harder than she'd expected, "in contrast there are goblins. They have to be kept out of sight of muggles also, but they're intelligent enough to have input on the decision and offer their opinions. Does that make any sense? Even if there were other governments, they'd have to be interconnected." That either made her sound really smart or really, really dumb.
