My assumption is that fundamentally the picture of the human animal, as developed by Freud, is largely right.

An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable.

Assumption is the biggest human consumption.

Man is said to be a reasoning animal. I do not know why he has not been defined as an affective or feeling animal. Perhaps that which differentiates him from other animals is feeling rather than reason. More often I have seen a cat reason than laugh or weep. Perhaps it weeps or laughs inwardly — but then perhaps, also inwardly, the crab resolves equations of the second degree.

Humans are the only animals on earth that have done nothing to improve our planet. We are the only animals that have done nothing to improve the life of another single species on this planet.

It's been an animal that's been largely ignored and gone unnoticed over the years. It is a very secretive animal that has just disappeared quietly.
