Imho, it's a bit exceptionalistic/embarrassing that large parts of humanity automatically assume that other animals can't think or feel. It seems correlated with 'profits' somehow.

Any way, I hope NONE of the other dominant species on the planet have discovered who creates all the problems for them (cough).. We could continue our lies, and say that Aliens - or the evil 'lizard people' - made us do it ?
