We Are Wal-Mart; We Are Devo

My other blog IHateWalMart devoted to all things hateable about the unholiest of unholies, discusses a particularly nauseating example of man's inhumanity to animals, perpetrated by two stellar examples of the human race employed by WalMart in Evansville, Indiana.

Let's not forget that torturing and killing animals is one of the key behaviors indicative of antisocial personality disorder, exhibited in serial killers, among other sociopaths.
These examples of man's inhumanity to animal are like a wrecking ball careening into my solar plexus and just staying there. I get ill at road kill.
I've been around animals my whole life. I don't necessarily consider humans to be at the top of the evolutionary scale. They're certainly below dolphins and elephants. At home, I have a black & white cat, and an albino cockatiel. We don't make distinctions among species - everyone has an equal voice in what goes on, some voices more shrill and demanding than others.

If you're of the persuasion that medical testing on animals, poaching for elephant ivory and other animal parts of esoteric value in some cultures (consider the affinity for Tiger Penis Soup in China - extremely expensive, 3 guesses as to its purported powers), and other human afflictions inflicted on animals, please buy the book "When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals" by Jeffrey Masson. His other books, including "Dogs Never Lie About Love" will make you seriously rethink whether man really belongs at the pinnacle of the evolutionary scale.
