All one has
to do is read Genesis in the bible and see that God gave man dominion over all
animals. However, lately, we have seen
animal lovers put animals equal to or above humans and that animals deserve the
same rights as humans. It seems we have
lost our way on what qualifies as human and what does not.
The recent
killing of a gorilla named Harambe at the Cincinnati zoo has gotten these
animal lovers and animal organizations, such as PETA, in an uproar. Many animal experts have said that shooting
the gorilla was the only way to save the child and using a dart tranquilizer to
put the gorilla to sleep would not have worked quickly and most likely
infuriated the gorilla and thereby place the child in greater risk. I wonder what the outrage would have been if
the gorilla killed the child and the zoo employees did not shoot the gorilla?
But, I do
find it interesting how these animal lovers and organizations have such outrage
over the killing of an animal and yet, see nothing wrong with the killing of a
human in the womb. Is this how far we
have sunk as a society?
Then again, as one radio personality said today, "if man evolved from the ape, why do we still have gorillas in our mist"?
