Thomas Pain’s Corner is always a joy to read, some of the subjects are a bit depressing but very much enlightening. I just got through an article called Animals are Not Stupid. The insinuation that animals were stupid was expressed by Larry King for one, stating that it is ok for humans to kill and eat animals because we’ve been designed to chase down “smaller and stupider creatures.” This statement just goes to show how ignorant some people really are. Most animals don’t do what humans do and never will have the ability to create the destructive things that we have, and treat other living creatures with the heinous disrespect only we humans can.
There are many amazing things that animals can do and us humans can’t do or even understand how these supposed dumb creatures can do some of the things they do. Animal awareness is so much more acute than ours. Their communication and memory is so much greater in most cases. Animals have it all over us in so many ways, We are actually the stupid ones.
This is a great article, It moves me to the extent i almost feel like punching Larry king in the head. Ooh how human of me.
