Well, I think that this topoic is rather silly myself. Animals Base there actions on instinct not reason. An animals actions do not reflect rational thought. As humans we are capable of abstract though. We are able to concieve non-materialistic things. Time and space as well as other immaterial things dominate our culture and way of life. Animals have yet to show signs of this. Animals practice repetitive behaviors. At the same time I do think there is a level of cruelity towards animals that must be stopped. Neglect, abuse, sexual activities, and unnessisary cruelity upon slaughter should be outlawed. the Majority of these things have been already.
