Quote:Have we the right to destroy other species?
I reject the notion of innate rights to any kind. I won't even go into the implication that it's immoral to destroy another species per se.
We behave towards other species as any predatory species does..We exploit them to survive and improve our own lives. We're too short sighted, greedy, indifferent and stupid to seriously consider any long term damage we may be doing. Few animals shit in their own nest to the extent of humans.
A major difference between us and other animals is our propensity for navel gazing and the ability to feel guilt and shame, or at least pretend we do.
