    One life does have more value than another. I’ll kill a hundred cows to save a human.

    But only if I have to. I won’t kill a hundred cows to save the minor inconvenience of finding something different to eat.

      Insects are more important to our ecosystem, yet we don’t seem to care about that because they aren’t fuzzy and cute.

        “we” care just fine. I don’t spray pesticide. I work with my land to keep critters out of my house. Human compassion is not in short supply.

        And I’ll kill every one of those fuckers if it would save human lives.
