How Animals Think
The article seems to push the idea that we think less of animals and that should change, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s clear that the motive behind us humans pulverizing the animal kingdom is because we think we&#x27;re superior to them. The reasons are mostly that they have stuff we want, and we just ... take it. For millions of years we&#x27;ve used fire to burn their tasty meat, and tools to shred them into usefulness, so it&#x27;s pretty clear we&#x27;re at the top at their expense. At the same time, we can see our ancestors (and still many natives around the world) held a deep connection to nature.<p>I don&#x27;t think the problem is not recognizing the complexity of the animal mind, especially mammals. The problem is that we can&#x27;t stop. Nothing has stopped humans in the past, and now feeling sorry won&#x27;t change anything either. We can just hope technology will outgrow the pace of our need to exploit animals, because I don&#x27;t think it will stop otherwise if we&#x27;re realistic. We&#x27;ll quickly recognize animal minds, and eat them without a problem, unless we get some lab steak.
