I read the article and while I agree w/ a bit of it, I disagree with just as much of it....and the way it's slanted. A good / interesting read nonetheless. It does come off as a bit paranoid though....?

In the 2nd to last closing paragraph, the author mentions this "sacred contract btwn society and the animal world" -- and I personally know of NO such sacred contract on the part of *most* humans toward animals...quite the reverse in fact. Most humans seem to feel animals are put here to do their bidding and to be at their mercy -- I do not feel that is true; in addition, I do not feel many humans to be truly capable of real mercy toward animals in general...I see quite the reverse all too often.
