yes. surely i must have a superiority complex over other 'lesser' sentient beings because i really can't be empathetic to animals,etc. the way i see it, there are people starving and dying unnecessarily every single day and i wonder why people put so much time and effort into animal rights when such gross violations of human rights are largely ignored? there is an incredible amount of condescension involved in animal rights because the activists all think themselves on moral highgrounds and think they're so g0dd@mn right. has it ever occurred to these people (this may sound slightly ridiculous) that animals do not want human interferrence?

and yes, i do think it is ridiculous that the finnish fishmonger was fined for unnecessary cruelty because the fish is going to die anyway. there is no question of that. END OF STORY.

END SERMON.
