So some humans think they finally have the luxury of seriously considering animal ethics while some other humans would still kill for survival. Meanwhile, the earth or the universe continues to not care.

Can you imagine a person who is totally emotionless when torturing an animal but is also very compassionate towards human beings? I think in some ways human ethics and animal ethics are connected. Though if you ask me whether Switzerland has gone too far, I'm still hesitant about yes/no.
