Well, I was perhaps inferring too much about the critique of industrial civilization, but I am glad to have it confirmed that I was paying attention to your posts. If you define humane primarily as compassionate, which is perfectly reasonable, you certainly have a case. I admit, I do not think that animals have rights; I do not admire vegetarianism; I do not think that fur is murder. I do think we should not be wantonly cruel to animals, but that is more a matter of not wanting to encourage the trait of cruelty among human beings. As I have said to vegetarian friends, once tigers become vegetarians, I will consider it. Anyway, if you think that makes me less humane than your acquaintances, I cannot blame you. I can only say that I consider such matters beyond the consensus, and a matter of religious or philosophical diversity.
