I can only hope we re-train our brains to use this "power" for the loving good of others. Then we would truly "evolve".Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-21584732612701644342010-10-08T03:27:25.197-05:002010-10-08T03:27:25.197-05:00Thanks for commenting Bea.

Would they mind if we did? I have no clue - But I do admit to an unjust "prejudice" in favor of beings who can exist without causing great harm. I know it's wrong - But I do love the gentle animals more. :( <br /><br />Of Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-67451804497741097442010-09-22T06:52:21.555-05:002010-09-22T06:52:21.555-05:00Thanks for commenting Krissa.

I don't know either yet I do know that the all cruelty inflicted by chimpanzees and all other animal people is minuscule compared to what human animals have been and are doing...the imposition of unnecessary pain or suffering or fear by any living being on another being is reprehensible.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-48045161130196235862010-09-21T11:49:01.172-05:002010-09-21T11:49:01.172-05:00I've never been able to watch those nature sho...I've never been able to watch those nature shows where say a zebra gets taken down and killed by lions or crocodiles...Once, I accidentally saw more than a few seconds of a deer who had been bitten by a komodo dragon who was in the process of stalking/killing her.
