I've heard it everywhere; so many people think that size makes a huge difference in a reason for people to hurt creatures. Many people would hurt a cat or something since it's smaller than them, but I'm sure not a grizzly bear. Although, for some, that's why guns are there. For what, to kill a life and do nothing else. Except, get trophies, get money, get happiness, for killing a life. "Oh, they're just stupid creatures, those animals." That's probably in the average adults' minds. They'll try to show care, but once a smaller animal bites/scratches them, a kick. Say a huge giant that was so much taller than you tried to touch you with that great big hand, you would use self-defense too, wouldn't you? They have brain, lungs, a heart, hair, eyes, bones, noses, ears, The 5 senses; everything that we have, except speech. So what's the difference? They have a different language and a different look like our cultures do. They keep us alive, they help the world just as much as all of the natural things do. Some people even abuse animals even when they simply make a noise if their hungry. "Shut up!" You wouldn't say that to a member of your family if they were crying of hunger, would you?
Babies. Everyone cries over their birth, thinking that it's such a beautiful thing; to bring another life into the world. Whoever does that to animals? I haven't heard of anyone. An animal is born.. no one cares. Quite a few baby animals just get thrown right to the slaughterhouse and food factories, all for other animals; us. Real nice, huh? Why does it go on. Alot of people I know care don't even have things like this come up once in their minds. Even kids sometimes. Everyone thinks it's cruel to hurt a cat/dog, but no one EVER mentions the millions of animals being cut open alive just to feed us. Everyone needs to do something.
