Do you think that the killing of ants and slugs, and the like, are equivalent to the killing of humans such that you think, for example, that the Orkin man is a mass murderer?
I had to look up Orkin man as I've never heard of it. Just because humans kill other animals, that does not in any way shape or form mean that humans are not animals. So the question remains, what criteria do you use to place humans outside of the realm of animals?
You want to bring a morality issue into a biological question.
Quote:Do you think that what Hitler and the Nazis did was acceptable/no problem as what they did is no different than what the Orkin man does?
Humans are speciests just as much as other animals are. Argumentum at Hitlerum is not valid here either.
