Reply To: Who says we're the only ones with compassion for other species?
Talking about the total opposite, a friend posted this image on FB
With the caption “All Lions are important”. It’s a parody of the meme going around that all lions should be protected per infamouse douchey hunter bribing someone to get the chance to kill an enormous mammal he had no intention of eating.
While I get the humour…and we should have a far more realistic image of mammals (that they are incredibly sensitive with emotional intelligence yet can be extremely cruel and fierce with one another and when catching prey and eating them) I beg to differ with the idea behind the poster.
Should mammals that don’t kill other mammals be protected more? Should all mammals be protected when they are in seriously low numbers? Does a mammals cruel behaviour…or how ugly they are…change in any way if or how they should be protected?
