um, wow, that's really nice how you made the jump from my criticism of human animal relations to claiming that i am a potential killer. people like you are the reason why my friends ended up in prison despite there being no evidence that they ever committed any crimes at all. fuck you very much.

for the record: i am not an animal lover and killing isn't exactly my type of activism.

you are not the one who gets to decide what is up to question here and what isn't. how we treat animals is based on how we see animals. and there are so, so many things wrong with how we see animals that result in our mistreatment of them. yeah, other animals are not on equal grounds with humans in the sense that there are some significant characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. but in other important ways, we are similar. i just don't think there's a need to establish that we are infinitely better or more important.
