I could not agree with you more. Some people can be so sickening. Thats why I 
get so much joy being involved with animals in general. Watching nature shows 
and learning about different animals from an African dung bettle to gigantic 
blue whales. In all the sad, horrible, and often sick things that I
have seen in the animal world, all have been surpased by similar or worst 
things done by us humans. Ant collonies sometimes go to war due to lack of 
territory or food. But they only kill themeselves. When our species have war, 
we eliminate ourselves, birds, fish, insects, plantlife, and whole eco
systems are destroyed for many years ahead. We kill animals if not for the 
hell of it, for their fur or for their plumage. Just an example, in the early 
1900's a so called "hunter" shot and killed a Lutino Coban Amazon born
in the wild. Its like if someone would go now and shoot one of those new 
white and blue Scarlet macaws. We, a species so well developed, donn't even
wory about a deffinate problem as overpopulation. The things done to this 
planet are bounds toward a worldwide inbalance. We see it allready, this 
years record number of hurricanes, and the up and down bizare changes in 
temperature. Only we can lye till death about important issues such ar 
religion, evolution, and even extra terestial life. Were supposed to have 
souls, yet, most people don't use it. Sometimes, I wish we were not so 
civilized.
