PETA assumes humans are superior to Nature. That’s why they are F***ed in the head.

Snips:

"PETA does not demonize bears, pigs or hedgehogs for being omnivorous. For that matter, turkeys are naturally omnivorous, and PETA is trying to demonize we omnivorous homo sapiens types for eating them. So, what makes human omnivores different from all other omnvivores? Why hold us to a different standard than the rest of the opportunistic feeders that fly, walk, swim or crawl around the globe?

Answer: The only reason to hold humans to a “higher” standard is if you think humans occupy a higher place in the natural order.If you are arrogant and feeling oh-so-superior. As a great writer once said, “you can’t condescend UP”.

News flash, PETA: we aren’t all that special, not in the grand scheme of things. Humans eat what we can eat, and to an extent what we choose to eat. We are not some sort of Grand High Poohbah Muckety-Muck Exalted Grand Wizards of All We Survey: we are just animals blessed with opposable thumbs, brains, and some really nasty characteristics that helped us build tools and kill other animals. That allows us to appear disconnected from nature. We’re creatures of the Earth, nothing more and nothing less. And we should treat ALL life we encounter in Nature as it deserves to be treated.

Including each others’ children"
