While I was reading this case a thousand things were going through my head at once, I mean how can’t it when I’m a sucker for animals and believe in their right to life and being able to keep it. I feel like some humans are very egotistic; all they seem to do is worry about themselves and their own kind which drives me crazy. Don’t get me wrong heart transplants are no joke to me, if you can save a person save them but don’t sacrifice another living thing against their will to do it. I believe that sometimes when it’s time to go then leave life in God’s hands. Now a lot of people make the argument that animals are not comparable to humans or less in worth because they have no morals, I know because I hear it countless number of times and every time I have to give myself a second and count to 10 just so I don’t burst from anger. But you know what!? Some humans that treat animals like they do have no worth to me. How is it that everyone claims we are the smartest, most innovative and powerful people when we don’t even know the simple concept of respect; and I mean respect to everything including the smallest bug. I know that this reading is especially applied to chimpanzees and a chance to get more hearts for people in need but no, I don’t think this is right at all because it is violating animals to the hugest extent. Why is it that we look at animals as a whole while we look at humans as individuals? Why is it that we let animals gain trust and compassion just to mistreat them, why is it that humans can’t be as compassionate as animals and just treat them right, respectfully? For example, whenever i am walking on the street and see an ant I deliberately walk around it and make sure I don’t step on it because I believe that every life that doesn’t need to end shouldn’t. I really like animals, I worked at a zoo. 🙂
