If animals could talk…

What would they say?  Probably not much unless you give them human brains.  I mean we treat animals, even our beloved pets, so badly by ingnoring them, abusing them (intentionally or unintensionally), “training” them, and they take it without any apparent grudges.  A mistreated dog will hardly attack its owner.

Animals who are bred for meat or other products (milk, fur, eggs) are treated much worse [e.g. check out meet your meat, caution explicit images on this site] than pets.  A cow bred for producing milk has to spend its entire life in a stall smaller than the length of its body so it can never face forward.  I wonder it feels sad or angry. I wonder what it thinks about.  I wonder if animals believe in god, or a god-like entity.

If you have not guessed already, I am a vegeterian.  I am working on becoming a vegan, but it is tough.  I am working towards it and I hope I achieve that goal soon.

I wonder if there is a word for being ashamed of being human.
