The trouble
Transcript:
The trouble with science is that too often it leaves out love. If you agree that we cannot treat men like machines, why should we put animals in that class? Why should we fall into ignorance and conceit of cataloguing every human-like action of animals under the word "instinct"? Man delights in thinking of 'him' as only a little lower than the angels. Then why should he not consider the animals as only a little lower than him? The poet has truly said that "the beast is the mirror of man as man is the mirror of God." He has claimed dominion over animal creation and a right to assert that dominion without restraint. This anthropocentric conceit is the same thing that causes one nation to think it should rule the world, that the sun and moon were made only for the laudable purpose of giving light unto a chosen few, and that young lambs playing on a grassy hillside, near a cool spring, are just so much mutton allowed to wander over man's domain until its flavor is improved.
