I would never think of harming an animal unless I or my wife were being directly threatened. That said, animals are just that. They are not humans although humans are the most developed animals. Notice that I didn't say advanced. If we're so advanced why do we engage in something that the lower animals never engage in - WAR.

Shame on us humans.
