Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Sometime this week, I will publish an article in here from the Globe and Mail . . . I am going to make it a link from my site, like Anji's . . . it's a very similar article called " What if they liked the taste of human flesh? " It was written in 1991 and was featured in the Facts & Argument section, by Michael West (an astronomer at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Toronto). I'll let you guys know soon, it's a cool article. If you guys want to read a book that was starting to " plant the seeds " of animal rights, try Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke (the guy who wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey) . . . it's about aliens who come to earth and tell us about what a bad job we are doing and how we have to be nicer to animals and stuff like that (the part about the Bullfight is great!) There was a Twilight Zone episode that was similar but more tragic ( " How to Serve Man " ) about these aliens who came down to " help man, " and gave them this book, " How to serve man, " but it turned out to be a cook book!

You should check out " Intelligent Beings from Alpha Centauri have arrived! " http://www3.sympatico.ca/anji/alphacentauri.html It's important for people to reflect on the scenario of the tables being turned on us where we, humans, are the ones being mass slaughtered and exploited. If we were in a situation to have to explain why it's not ethical to do that to us, we would certainly have to re-examine our own beliefs and the excuses we presently use to defend the mass slaughtering and exploitation non-human animals. -anji > " amazon grrrl " <bliss > >Okayyy,... >I think that if I was on the way to the slaughterhouse and had an alien put a gun to my head, and put a nail into my skull....
