I don't much care what you want to call it -- point is they do it. Killer whales will also play with and torture seals before they eat them. But the point wasn't to say that Animals == Man or "gee ain't animals gruesome", the point was to say that rocks = 0.0; man = 1.0; and animals are somewhere in the middle. It's an attenuated form of what we do. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
