WITH LITTLE FEELING

Posted on 20/06/2016 by Nightpoet

When I first took this photo some twenty-three years ago,

it profoundly moved me. Humankind’s inhumanity to their

own species is horrible enough, but our inhumanity towards

all life should make us seriously question our own morality

as a species. Sadly the answer to that question is very ugly…

THE TEST

Posted on 19/06/2016 by Nightpoet

“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test…

consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
