Uber-Menschen ALL the way! The suffering of any lower species, be it human or animal, is to be excused when it's for the greater good of the 'superior' species.
Once you make exceptions for respecting any form of animal life, the slope is slippery indeed.
Bush, the new Fuehrer of cretins everywhere, didn't think much of animal suffering either.
You can keep psychopath Bush & Dahmer-like followers who dismiss the sickest forms of torture as frat pranks. I'll stick with PETA.
The story — recounted with fondness by a Bush childhood friend in a long, flattering New York Times profile of Bush during the 2000 presidential election campaign — never became an issue on the campaign trail.
Despite psychiatric evidence that children who are cruel to animals often go on to be abusive adults, the U.S. media apparently decided that the torture of frogs was nothing more than a charming little anecdote from Dubya's early years. (Imagine what the media would make of a charming little childhood anecdote like that, if it were in Saddam Hussein's background.)
It should have at least been a clue that Bush — now the most powerful man in the world — has a taste for blowing things up, not to mention an insensitivity to suffering. http://www.commondreams.org/views02/1215-03.htm
