I love animals. I have coexisted with animals pretty much my entire life. I have been been blessed to be able to share in emotional existence with animals. When humans get treated in such horrific fashions as described in your linked natgeo story, we call it a crime against humanity. From my understanding, all mammals have limbic systems and therefore have feelings and moods.
My question to you is: As we march endlessly towards an anthropogenic earth, one that is shaped to meet human needs and desires, will there be any room left for animals? A deer cannot coexist with a highway. Insects cannot coexist with automobiles. Is it even possible to think otherwise? Any sort of captivity is clearly inhumane--but what else is possible? The wild world is shrinking by the hour and our space in time is vastly different than what early homo sapiens experienced.

Thank you for fighting the good fight.
