"...why humans should not be able to eat animals when animals eat other animals, Singer acknowledged that humans have to be held to a different standard. "Animals generally are not making moral choices. Animals are not the same as humans. They can't reflect on what they are doing and think about the alternatives. Humans can. So there is no reason for taking what they do as a sort of moral lesson for us to take. We're the ones who have to have the responsibility for making those choices..."
Okay, now, maybe someone much smarter .. or more able to decypher spin .. can explain to me how these two statements could both be true.
If we're not superior to animals, then how can we be expected to be held to a higher standard.
If we ARE superior to animals, that answers all of the questions raised by this nitwit, categorically.
