Cheek!

I don't think non-human means sub-human.
I'm with Ricky on this one - the Buddha's philosophy is more compassionate.
i also believe that non-human doesn't mean sub-human, and i am really dismayed by the arrogant disregard that many humans have for other species and their welfare. it makes me really happy to see people like sparrow expressing their respect and compassion ; if everyone began to think this way i think we'd see a lot less atrocities committed against everyone, animals *and* humans (humans are animals too, anyway).
