Random thought....
So far we have the"vegetarian/ vegan fundie" emotional appeal to consider animals "feelings" based on the premise that humanity cannot consider the lot of the animal kingdom BECAUSE humans don't or won't identify with a) the natural world or b) the suffering our existence causes in the natural world. Have I got that right?
Yet, these self same "avengers" of the rights of animals are quite happy to devastate the "natural world" by inflicting their desire to have whole forests raised and plant ecosystems annihilated to grow their food? Further, these self same "friends of the earth" are extatic over the promulgation of the petro-chemical industry (and the mess it makes) and big pharma (the 'health' pill industry) and then lay "claim" that what they are supporting is life on this planet?
Amazing is all I can say. How a sub-species can take itself so seriously as to think it is beyond the ecosystems of this planet is the height of arrogance and ignorance in my opinion. Just because we don't understand how the plant kingdom thinks and feels, it is ok to murder rape and pillage that Kingdom to feed the self righteous but hey don't you dare lay a finger on the animalia kingdom especially that of the order mammalia for a food source.
And I haven't even begun to get all kumbaya hippy dippy over the mineral kingdom.
