So do you consider yourself a human or an animal? How can someone show inhumanity towards other?

At first, the animals wanted to get rid of the humans, and they did not treat them right. They thought that all animals should be equal. Everything is treated a certain way for a reason. They should have just felt it everything alone.

First of all, man has been killing since the beginning of time. Even in the Bible, Cain killed Abel and that was in the very beginning of time thousands and thousands of years ago. It seems it is human nature to kill and

Humans do not eat other human beings because that would break down our organized society. We stay together, just as other species would, and breed. Morals and ethics are ideas that humans created cognitively. If one considered all animals to be just animals regardless of their intelligence, then the concept of morals and ethics would not exist. Despite the absurdity of meat eating ethics, there are other important reasons for meat in our diet.

Close your eyes and imagine this horrifying scene: a dark, dirty concentration camp, a huge pit of flames, a son holding his father firmly by the hand, and then throwing his father in the flames. As you read Elie’s horrifyingly inhumane description of the concentration camps, in which they were degraded and tortured in ways impossible to comprehend, you begin to see one major relationship in every key event: inhumanity. The inhumanity of a group of people will be brought out in deplorable conditions. When you look at a dog and you look at a human, you can see distinct differences. Many times the inmates of the concentration camps were referred to as animals and treated like them as well.

When Elie was moving to another camp, he noticed, “this shadow threw itself over [the man]... ‘Meir, my little Meir! Don’t you recognize me… You’re killing your father… I have bread… for you too… for you too’... His son searched him,took the crust of bread”(101). This shows how inhumanity can affect someone. A young boy had killed his father over a piece of bread, it was like if he was willing to do anything for that ration of bread. This can show how people put survival over compassion. Also, when Rabbi Eliahu had said, “ ‘Perhaps someone here has seen my son?’... A terrible thought crossed my mind: What if he had wanted to be rid of his father”(90-91). The young boy was trying to get rid of his father because how weak his father was. Eliahu’s son thought if he could just get rid of him everything would be easier. By running away from his father shows the pettiness he had and that he only cared for himself. Nevertheless, no matter what, people will always choose their survival over anything.

Most people in that situation had to become somewhat inhuman to deal with all of the stressors. This includes not caring whether people are dead or alive because if they were sort of dead, that was good enough. It created more room. The fact that Elie was there to save his father emphasizes the significance of family. Having someone who cares for their son, daughter, father, mother, cousin, etc. was sometimes the difference between life and death.

All of this inhumanity had forced Elie to grow up and experience the loss of his innocence. All of the violence, brutality and needs of survival had made him not care about anyone but himself. As his father was dying taking his last breaths Elie had ignored the calls of his name and was relieved in the morning to see that his father had passed, he was free from the burden of carrying his father around caring for him as his father had once done for Elie. Elie had changed and his father had become old and whiny needing for Elie to be with him. In the end Elie had done his own act of inhumanity by letting his father he struck to

In the assert of ¨A Change Of Heart about Animals¨ by Jeremy Rifkin, the author strongly supports animals rights and has been working to prove animal intelligences and emotions can see understand through science. Rifkin include pig´s studies at Purdue University, where scientists found the animal can feel depressed under isolated conditions or health problems. Even Dr Arthur Saniotis, fellow with the University's School of Medical Sciences stated, ¨science tells us that animals can have cognitive faculties that are superior to human beings." Due to the rise of the agriculture evolution, people going to consume animals as property and began viewing human as superiority for our exclusive aptitude in reasoning. Human began to break themselves from the nature when technology and standard language imply in everyday life in the world.

With this said I put this question to you. What gives us the right, as animals, to brutally abuse and kill other animals in the name of science and the selfish preservation of our own species? Especially when there are alternative methods available to us that don’t require the death of innocent animals.

Elie is in a concentration camp that forces him to face inhumanity everyday. Elie and the others in the camp never knew when they were going to face death, like Morrie. From day one Elie was dehumanized and treated like an animal. When he was taken from his home, he was placed in a cattle car. He was then given a number and stripped from his identity. The Nazis continually called him worthless and a “pig.” Elie questioned how anyone could be humane in a situation like this and said, "Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Today anything is allowed. Anything is possible, even these crematories" (30), but despite all of the trauma and inhumanity Elie faced on a daily basis, he was humane to his father. Elie did everything in his power to stay alive for his father, similiar in a way to Mitch in Tuesdays with Morrie. Elie showed humanity to his father. In the beginning when they had to march everywhere, Shlomo, Elie’s father, struggled with it. Like Morrie, Elie taught Shlomo how to march and to not get in trouble. Elie wanted the best for his father. When Elie’s father was on his deathbed, Elie brought him food and water, even though Elie himself was starving. Elie did not give in to the inhumanity that was brought upon him. Elie chose to rise above it, just as Morrie

Animals as well as humans have been around for an extended period of time showing that there obviously has been some sort of interactions between them throughout the years which may not have always been all the bad. They have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. They are our main source of comfort, happiness, joy, fun, and of course: food. Without animals we would not be at the point in life where we are today. Our next best source of food besides animals would have to be plants and who wants to eat plants all the time for every meal and only that? The treatment of those animals that we use as a food source and even the ones as pets is not always positive. Lobsters, a primary food source for the wealthy, are treated very poorly, for

Because of this, humans view animals as lesser beings which can be controlled, eaten, and abused at our discretion. Singer argues against this way of thinking by acknowledging the similarities between humans and other “lesser

Once again, humankind was created in the image of God and were given the responsibility to rule over animals (Gen 2:15), which would insinuate humans to be on a higher level than animals. Mankind

“The difference between the brain of the human and the higher animal obviously lies in the degree, not the difference on the essence” (Charles Darwin). The purpose of the quote is to express the feeling that the animal and human is similar, they have the human-like qualities. In Life of Pi written by Yann Martel, Pi uses animal imagery to show that animals that can be mad, suffer, and sad which are all human qualities.

Our world today is becoming less and less aware of the pain and suffering being inflicted on animals. In outcome, animals are becoming even more and more tarred in society. Humans have and is continuing to handle animals as if they are some kind of material goods. This is considered as being immoral, as animals have their own lives, and they think, have feelings, can feel pain, require love, have families, and everything else that humans possess.
