This is what's wrong with the world...
Over the course of thousands of years it has left to...
''Wildlife are pests''
''God created man in his image''
''Superior souls incarnate as humans''
''Krishna favours the cows.. the cows are holy''
''God (who looks, talks and behaves like a human) teaches us to domesticate and tame the world''
''Elephants are inferior troubled souls... they were bad humans... that's why they're now elephants''
''Parrots were just very talkative in their past life as a human... that's why they're parrots now''
''Pigeons were sex addicts as humans... that's why God gave them pigeon body''
''Pets are troubled souls... that's why they need special healing from the Advanced Human Soul''
It. Is. All. Human. Hubris.
And people (religions) believe in such things because they have claimed dominance.
