ZOO CH.6

"Only on earth there is talk of free will"(86). I believe all animals are equal and that we don’t posses the right to mistreat other creatures because we can. Humans might be the smartest animals on they planet but sometimes it doesn’t seam like it. We shouldn’t mistreat anyone to show superiority not even our own species.

We fight, torture and kill each other, how is this smart? "name and serial number to each prisoner"(91) were given in WW2 must we also do this to our surroundings. We don’t only mistreat ourselves but also we are finishing our world and every living thing in it. People used to think black people had no soul and deserved no rights because of their skin color. Many ethnicities have been discriminated through time but the Jews were one of the most terrorized. In the second world war many things happened that were less than human, Jews were massacred and forced to work just like slaves. They were hungry, cold and desperate and had little hope of surviving it. We have somewhat learned to treat each other equally but we still have a far way to go not only with us but also with the other living things in this planet.

Animals have been killed senselessly and deliberately. Animals still are hunted for furs and mistreated without reason. I don’t believe in survival of the fittest, I think we can find a balance in which we are all benefited. We don’t have to mistreat animals or kill them if it’s not necessary for them to die. We don’t have to be began but we have to respect animals and they’re right to live. Even if we are going to use them they have to deserve respect in zoo’s and farms. Animals and people don’t have to be miserable, it’s a choice we make to let them feel that way.

Is Billy just another animal? Just another amusement? He is just another object, but this object has a life and they have torn it to pieces at their liking. No matter how we try to hide it we cant play with nature and others lives, we must comprehend the ripples of our actions.
