Pat's right, and any believe that any animal is " superior " to others is

ridiculous and based on subjective standards of comparison that don't hold

up in Nature.

The annual (1204-1867) Donnybrook Fair in Donnybrook, Ireland (SE suburb

of Dublin), was famous for its brawls. In 1822, a typical fair day's

complaints were " for broken heads, black eyes, bloody noses, squeezed hats,

singed, cut and torn inexpressibles, jocks and upper benjamins, loodies,

frocks, tippets, reels and damaged leghorns, together with sundry assaults,

fibbings, cross buttocks, and ground floorings too numerous to mention. "

A " higher plane " ?!?! Would you call polluting the entire planet and

it's atmosphere with countless toxins, nearly wiping out the rain

forests, building nuclear weapons capable of decimating the earth

hundreds of times over, and inventing such immoral political systems

as capitalism a higher plane? If ever a species deserves to labeled

as inferior it would have to be homo sapien. Certainly there are

humans trying to avoid / undo the damage humans have done to planet

earth, but we are the minority to be sure.
