our right?

Watching Jurassic Park reminds me how disgusting Mankind can be. We seem to be the only species that kill for entertainment. We throw animals into enclosure for our own viewing pleasure, denying them freedom and making them lose themselves. What on earth makes a guy throw a cat down from a few storey high just to test if it can survive the fall, if it really has nine lives?

What gives us the right to perform tests on rats and other animals to check if our medicine is safe for us? What gives us the right to neuter animals so that they won’t behave aggressively as pets in our homes? Sadly, it is this simple fact. The fittest survive. That alone gives us sufficient right and authority...
