i think we have all been talking more about instances of acts in nature/wildlife looked through an improper lens. take away what ants do or wolves or cockroaches and you affect a very wonderful balance of life--and yes species have left this earth (kind of, just look at petroleum) and there has been a rebalancing. heck, trees aren't considered sentient and we all know how important those are w/o even wondering if they're doing wrong or right or being compassionate or not. the "enlightened" mu and the cow's seem nary a difference. what do u expect the cow to walk you across the street or buy you a drink?? it's way is MUCH more compassionate...perhaps incomprehensibly so.
