It takes some serious introspection to see the similarities between ourselves and the other animals around us. At the same time we have trouble understanding the motivations and thinking of other human beings, much less a wildly different creature like a bird or a snake.
I can see why some people just stick their fingers in their ears and think of non-human animals as "Things" rather than thinking beings. Otherwise the world is far more terrible and cruel than bears thinking about.

- icebraining 8y agoThere are small children dying right now for no other reason than some people wanting to make some money. If one can, say, enjoy a movie while knowing that, why would one have to think of non-human animals as "things"?
