What crows, elephants and humans want
The use of animals is shaped by a tradition that perceives nothing objectionable about it. However, violent intercourse with animals in rearing, husbandry and killing is ethically not justifiable. At the same time living is impossible without limiting other living beings. This constitutes a serious conflict, even if not recognised by many. Yet usually we lack the empathy to perceive the cruelty and the suffering, and thus a sense of injustice is missing. Consequently we fall short of our own intellectual and emotional possibilities and violate not only the dignity of creature, but of ourselves as well.
