Yet another sign how much we appreciate all life in the United States. I think we're blessed that we treat our animals better then the Islamic leaders treat their humans.

@117gotmilk a crocodile wouldnt give up their lives for us neither would a mouse or a cat. if none of hose animals want to give up their life then why should we. this proves that we r equal cause any animal would keep their life (unless the other animal was like your only friend or something)

@DrakeSilver that is a very good point.

i have one last question for you then im done writing back.

if given the chance to save a field mouse (could be any animal, mouse was just the first thing to pop into my head) from certain death but in the process you had to lay down your own life would you?

if the answer is no it's because you value your life more than you value that animals.

if the answer is yes then i feel sorry for you but i respect your passion.

@117gotmilk if you think i place myself above the other animals then be my guess, i'll never place myself above anything. you say that we can buy,sell,kill,eat,train... etc,etc,etc. any species we want? well that's true to an extent. if you want to place yourself above everything and think your almighty then go ahead your only fooling yourself.

Fact is we're going to be long gone while these "animals" will still be here and that's only if we don't destroy the planet before we become extinct.

[117gotmilk]

@DrakeSilver just because you can point out the many faults in humanity (and theres VERY many) does'nt mean you can throw us into a group of animals and call us "equals". we're not below or equal to any other lifeform on the planet therefore we are above them on the grand scale of things. we have the ability buy, sell, kill, eat, train, wipe out, or recreate, any species we want.

i place myself above all other life and i know you do too.

[DrakeSilver]

@117gotmilk yes we are intelligent which is basically the only thing that we are better than others then again show me ANY other animal that is destroying the planet in which they live just to show off? show me ANY animal that has a justice system more broken than ours? we aren't superior to any other animal take out our technology and we're pretty much one of the weakest creatures living in this planet. I can keep saying to you ALL the things that doesn't make us superior to the others.

[117gotmilk]

@DrakeSilver we may be animals but we're intelligent animals.

show me any other living creature that has put itself on the moon

or built computers or has produced shakespeare.

you cant possibly believe we as a species are not vastly supperior to every other living orginism on the planet.
