passion without understanding, part II – animal attraction
When the first creatures crawled out of the primordial ooze, it signaled the beginning of a race… more correctly, it was a marathon, but for this article, we’ll call it a race. A race of superiority to some extent, but mostly a race of survival. Through a combination of luck, skill, ingenuity, intelligence and evolution (opposable thumbs help us hold guns AND post two thumbs up signs… hallmarks of civilization), when the dust settled man was the top of the food chain and lorded over the rest of the creatures on this foul rock we call earth. That is undeniable, yet some people still cling to the idea that ALL creatures are created equal. They aren’t. Animals may be cute and cuddly, but they are oftentimes dumber than a box of rocks. I like animals (some are quite tasty), but for the most part, I DO NOT believe that animals have a moral right to exist at the expense of humans.
