<We kill and eat passive, non-threatening and easy to kill cows too. Ditto for chickens and salmon.> And look what happens to vast wheat and corn fields. Mowed down by a row of combine harvesters, but they do get a really excellent life, with fertilizer and sun and water and no pests allowed to eat them. If hen, salmon, sheep and cow happiness per capita is multiplied by how many there are, and compared with tiger happiness per capita times how many there are of them, the tigers would be the losers by a very long way. In human happiness per capita terms and adjusted for population, I dare say India would far exceed the USA where Prozac consumption and anxiety are endemic. Not to mention obesity worries, which are still relatively uncommon in India. I'm not sure ants can be in the competition because I doubt they have happiness neurotransmitters as a measurable factor. If they did, they'd be doing very well. Mqurice
