Something to think about: We believe that the Golden Rule applies to animals, too. We don't accept the prevailing notion that " people come first' " or that " people are more important than animals. " Animals feel pain and suffer just as we do, and it is almost always humans making animals suffer and not the other way around. Yet in spite of how cruelly people behave towards animals -- not to mention human cruelty to other humans -- we are supposed to believe that humans are superior to other animals. If people want to fancy themselves as being of greater moral worth than the other creatures on this earth, we should begin behaving better than they do, and not worse. Let's start treating everyone as we would like to be treated ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
