The inane protestation of this professor are just some manifestation of 2-year old behavior, “Look at me, watch me!”
Isn't it though? When I see these so called "smart guys" say stupid things like this I hate it because there are a bunch of dimwits out there without a lick of common sense who will back him because he went to school for several years and got his head filled with mush.
There is a nefarious part if what he says. He's putting animals and man on the same level which anyone with a brain knows is untrue. It's also a tenet of Satanism that Man is nothing more than another animal. Sometimes it makes you wonder who's handing the course curicullum to the professor and why.
