When I hear food chain I think of a naked human with no technology chasing an elephant...nope...doesn't work.<br /><br />Remove technology, including fire for cooking, and humans eating other animals sort of disappears as a viable survival method.

I don't have any issues at all with describing what is being done to nonhuman animals as a holocaust...I was just focusing on the superiority notion in the post. I agree that we are engaged in behaviors that are in some ways worse than ever and I suspect what provides many with the lubrication to slide their value structures right on by these abhorrent behaviors veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-89000248139264039712011-11-21T14:38:26.343-06:002011-11-21T14:38:26.343-06:00This is great.

Each moment of suffering, each death adds to the burden of sorrow of the victims and to the sorrow of those of us who see, understand and are repulsed by the sea of blood and death in which we are immersed.
