Childhood indoctrination

[littleendian]

I have provided you with examples of human achievements and you simply ignored them rather than to show how I was wrong.

Because as I understand your argument is basically this:

We have built the pyramids and invented the computer and language and maths and what not and therefore we can kill and torture other species.

If that's what you're saying then I must simply reject it, the conclusion does not follow from the premises your honor!

edit: It was the great Jewish author Isaac Bashevis Singer who himself compared the holocaust with today's conditions for animals. I quote him:
Every day is Treblinka for the animals

If the victims of the holocaust see the link then I think it gives the comparison some credence.
