Throughout history, humans have consistently demonstrated that they believe they are superior to their surroundings. During the hunter-gatherer era, the question of human superiority over animals was almost non-existent. Animals killed humans just as humans killed animals; it was a much simpler time when humans killed just to survive. As time has passed and the human population has increased exponentially, we have moved away from that kind of simplicity. We no longer kill animals to survive; we are killing animals for selfish reasons that only benefit us. When the world of medicine revolutionized, we began testing products on animals to ensure they were safe for human use. We put thousands of animals at risk for our safety and health, completely ignoring the lives of those who have been tested. During the industrial revolution, the development of our cities took priority over plants and animals. We have driven entire species to extinction. The way humans live has a huge impact on the environment. We all blindly follow the past when change is necessary. By assuming superiority over our surroundings we are contaminating what has aided human survival for decades. In this article we will explore three strong arguments about how we are directly and indirectly affecting animals. First, we are directly impacting animals through daily meat consumption. We consume excessive amounts of meat every day and eating has become more of a luxury than a necessity. The choice to eat meat has a direct impact on the animal that was killed for that meal. We no longer associate the fact that the meat we eat comes from a once-living animal because we no longer personally kill what we eat. There is a gap between us, and... the middle of paper... yes, he believes he is true, and he can deceive himself, a beast cannot deceive itself. Therefore, with the word, man is not improved, but only given more possibilities." In other words, this quote highlights the thesis that although human beings are given more possibilities, this does not give us the right to contaminate the “beast” or creatures around us. Changing dramatically to a world of vegetarians, animal-free products, and restrictive cities. Growth is an unrealistic goal for an immediate response. However, we believe it is something worth fighting for As a breed “smart”, we should understand why the behavior is wrong with the growing awareness on the topic, our short term goal simply reduce waste, unnecessary killing, money wasted, less pollutants emitted into the air during production and well-being of the natural world.
