I was set to start this analysis by blaming our nonsensical behaviour towards animals, but first, a staple breakdown is needed not to throw groundless explanations and arguments. However, but for a previous explanation, my words would be worthless, and, although for logical beings whiling away for hours on end, is over worthy doing...those ilogical ones don't like wasting time.
Let's settle down what is the diference between us and those silly beings called...humans.
Ever since we blazed fire in the lonesome savanes of Africa, a feeling of superiority, a species chovinism sprang from our hearts. No longer were we under nature's disposal, no longer under time's and space's rules. The sensation that the sky was the limit started to give wings to our then-hairy- back. Conceited, comptentuous, we made up Gods and Goddess that would work as alivi when our ambition reached the end of the road. We were powerful, the blessed ones, The Creator had choose us to be the gardeners of Earth.
Such a white lie, such a pitiful tale not to destroy ourselves in despair. It was needed to ensure our exclusiveness, or else, our lives' value would be at the same level as those's we ate. Better not to think of it.
Yet, even if we tend to avoid reality, there it is. Nature passed the act that green lighted killing for survive. In that, we can't scape from life's rules, we are killers, but, instead of assuming it, we sorted a classification among living beings so that, regardless of taking one life to give us life,we are free of charges. We haven commited any felony so long as those to pass away, are not rational.
But, do they think! They use their mentality so much as our ancestors did. If not, wouldn't we have go down the branches of the trees in order to survive. Because, despite what some belief intend to pass off, earthly we are, there is no special star shinning upon our foreheads, there's no other path than death for the whole Earth's neighbourghood. Yes, in different ways, and not necessarilly worse developed, all of us have brains. All of us are rational. Sorry, Aristotle.
Would some state that, insofar we are conciouss of ourselves, we are different. That old Cogito Ergo Sum. Notwithstanding, seeing as primates and birds have recognized themselves in the mirror, that argument gets out of date. The same happens with our impressing capacity to comunicate. Dolphins and whales did more efficiently. Moreover, even if we can't realy understand sensitive lenguage, that aparently rough transmission of information that rules the wild, is not only sophisticated but probably unniversal. Babies, human babies have no mother tongue problems to pass their feelings on with other beings of no matter species, excluding human adults, of course.
Symbolic mental structure? writing?creativity? Gorilas can read sings, elephants can paint. If they don't it's because it is unnecessary for them to survive. Here some would point out the most evident difference, we aren't attached to grins as they are, freedom of choice is our trademark. Consequently, all a whole called moral has been made up. Yes, made up, because there's not an unniversal moral, under the mask of thought we have hided the rush to survive. As an example, the reason why do we blame murdering is beyond evil, is far more simple, if we kill each other, our species is going to disapear. If we love, if we play to be Romeo and Juliet, is just because our conscience needs a further purpose to give life, some pleasure it's needed to deceive us and fullfill then, so absent-mindedly, the labour of perpetuating our existence.
Eventually, we got run out of differences, so then, no argument is valid to justify our abuse. Animals feel, animals think, animal feel sorry for you when you're suffering, animals would protect their masters so as both would win nature's game. It's only natural, so sensible, so easy, nothing is carried out without a logical aim in this world. Nothing but our cruelty.
