Dear Dom:Thanks for your appropriate comments. In a
real sense, there is a "framework" that
nature adopts in the transfer of energy
from species to species. This "framework"
does not imply any sense of religion, but
it does imply an interesting husbandry
of resources.You may have "missed" my point as well.
Animal rights activists complain of
human cruelty to animals. There certainly
is that. As you yourself have stated,
some animals do seem to kill for sport--
our relatives the Chimpanzees certainly
do this. Maybe that just secures their
position as our "relatives."My point is that animal rights activists
seem to ignore the peculiar suffering
taking place in nature, and there is
plenty of it, isn't it...Thanks again.
