Merrion Webster says that inhumane means inhuman, and that inhuman means "lacking pity, kindness or mercy" or "savage." That doesn't just apply to animals, in my opinion, but all things living. For the record, I eat meat, wear leather, and support reasonable hunting and fishing. I just have a problem for cruelty for entertainment's sake. -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
