Humans are animals.
And I disagree.
My bold
I don't believe you think animals have moral culpability. If a bear attacks a human and kills him, you think the same of that bear as you would a murderer? That it's a horrible, immoral bear, just as the human who murders another is a horrible, immoral person?
A couple years ago an alligator in Disney attacked and killed a two year old little boy. Not for one second did it cross anyone's mind to feel any sense of outrage at that alligator. If it had been some dude who had captured and killed that little boy though, it'd be a different story. Because we know animals cannot be held morally accountable like humans can.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
