> Brent Stirton says the things he's seen have dented his faith in humanity It's sad that we're not advance enough to become a higher being that can co-live with other beings without ... contention. When I was in elementary school, my the text book and so my teacher often use the phase 'Human conquered the nature' (Or 'conquers', my memory is fuzzy about that). Then as I grow up, I start to wounder, is that actually true? We're the part of the nature. How can we label ourself as a conqueror if we're part of it? But that phase seems imprinted in lot's of peoples mind deeply: We're the conqueror, and so the nature is just a pool of resource for us to use. Since we're the conqueror, we can decide what to do, what not. That rhino's horn is nothing but a resource to us. We need it's horn, so we collect it. Killing the rhino is just the process of collecting. So we have no feeling killing it, neither care about that rhino will die in the process. And sometime, we not just do that to rhinos, because as conqueror, we decide which or who will be conquered.
