Wittle Aminals are people, too

Why is it that we consider other animals in the world to be lesser than humans? Our laws and social customs give us license to exterminate or treat with abandon the very creatures that both make our world special and which may provide us answers to many of the most important questions that we have. If only we would take the time to realize this. It dumbfounds me that we think nothing of killing an animal (after all, it was only an animal, right?), but we have strict laws against killing of other humans. (Unless you're a celebrity, of course.)

Call me a tree hugger. But I'm not. I'm a lot like you. But if you disagree, and I hope you don't, take time to consider it. If we can have the right to kill animals, why shouldn't they have the right to kill humans? Taking this further, perhaps its the reason why the world of humans should give more consideration to saving animals that make our world a special place, before we lose the opportunity.

A case in point: wild cats. Okay, get ready for a shameless promotion. They are magnificent animals, remarkable in their athletic abilities, beautiful to the eye and perfectly designed for what they do. The sad thing is, they are disappearing rapidly. But there are good organizations like the Feline Conservation Center in Rosemond, California, who are doing something about it. Click on the link and go to their site. If you want a dose of overwhelming cuteness, look at the Births section. Enjoy. Remember. And think of what you can do for animals. They do a lot for us.
