Entry 12: Animal vs Human

       Are animals and humans all that different? Most of people would say yes, because we all have this feeling that we are better than others. Every country, group think that they are the center of the world, we can know that from the old maps people made before they know what the whole world looks like. Biologically, humans are animals, they are in the animal’s kingdom, just like most of the animals are know and touch everyday. Man, used to be defined as “the creature who can make tools in a set of pattern,” however it is not recently discover that the chimpanzees can also make tools too. Some argue that the animals do not have consciousness. Which means that don’t have the since of “self,” they don’t know and don’t have the awareness of what they are doing. However, it is shown that an elephant would help the other dying elephant who they have never meet before. That action of helping does not help the elephant to survive in any way and the elephant is not force or train to do so. How are we going to explain that? What if the animals do have consciousness? Are we going to say sorry about all the harms we had done to them? If you don’t know what we have done, take a trip to the slaughterhouse and where those poor animals are raised to be the meat in your plate.
