I like animals more than people. For the masses, I'll liken them to children.
You (someone) feel that you need to protect the helpless.
I feel the need to protect the helpless animals that are going extinct left and right.
But that's just me, and I am probably a bit more to the extreme than most of you folk. I don't eat or use anything animal or that has been processed on equipment used for animals or "animal products". I don't smash spiders that run around my house, I take them outside. Same with bees, even though I have a great loathing for them. I don't smash mosquitoes that bite me. Hell, I don't even pick flowers because in my opinion, it's cruel.
Sure, plants are thought to not feel pain, but what if they do?
You see, it is my belief that I should inflict as little harm on my enviornment as I can. I don't need animals to live a healthy life, so why should I bother? Most everything I eat can be obtained without killing the plant itself also.
Like flowers. They're nice to look at, but I don't need them, so I leave them be.
Quzah.
