It is said that right and wrong are man made things. If you manage to remove humans from this planet then there is no right and no wrong. Things are just the way they are. But then people argue playing the 'superiority card' i.e. we think and hence we are superior. But are we really?
They say we think, we speak, we feel and ofcourse there is the opposable thumb hence we are superior. But animals also think (look at the way a tiger hunts or the way the rabbit gets away), they also speak (it is a different case that we are not smart enough to understand them) and they also feel (ever seen a dog sulk away when the owner shouts him or seen a cat defend its kittens?). Yeah okay the thumb point is taken thats a structural difference and we have many flaws too. All animals are natural born swimmers whereas we have to learn, dogs can hear extremly high pitched voice.....(The list is endless and i have to stop somewhere) So what is actually different about us? Nothing?
No wait...There are a few rather clear differences and those are the ones that are disturbing too...Animals only eat when they are hungry, retaliate only when they are hurt, react only if instigated and they never hunt for fun !!! Actually the differences are right there staring at our face but we fail to acknowledge their presence. But it seems, we being 'SUPERIOR' are allowed to do all that.........And its US who take an offense at being called an animal, where as it should be the other way round.....
