Perhaps sensible. It does seem to fly in the face of what many might hope in that humans also have an altruistic bent. This is directly relevant to the thread topic in how one views the value of other species not only for purely utilitarian uses, but (as others argue) for their intrinsic properties as Lives that Matter.

Re: Animals and their uses
Monkeypuzzle every thread you start is designed to get a strong reaction, so I do often follow your instruction to ignore your posts. It is a shame because I believe you are an intelligent person who could add some interesting comments, if you weren't always trying to irritate people.Just remember if everybody starts to ignore your posts, and it has happened to others before you, then you may have to return to one of the other forums, that you don't like as much as this one, Not much point in arguing with yourself, is there?

Wise words Twink
It’s sort of sad really this desire for attention .
Because attention is what is wanted here .
And it’s self defeating because although a first this may be mildly amusing it soon becomes tedious
And when people get tedious they get ignored
