Thanks for the help on how to comment... ^_^
Isn't posting on threads about 'knowing better than others' lol

debaser, some people have no idea what's up their own anuses but rely on others to tell them. I find this disturbing and politically dangerous.

Cuihulongjing: I do indeed fathom the difference between the evolution of humans & pigs vs. humans & dogs. My point is that, rather than being guided by what we may or may not happen to know about evolutionary or historical development, one might concern oneself with actual beings, even though the beings are animals. Or should we love/hate/eat/coddle the actual person, animal or not, just because our ancestors (whom we didn't know) knew his ancestors (whom he didn't know either)? One might as well go about fearing/hating snakes just because of the myth in Genesis, or hating Danes because the ancestors of some of them invaded England well over 1000 years ago. Multiply by as many examples as you can think of.

We can get over our attachment to dogs and our attachment to bacon is we want to. Or not. AAs for myself, I indulge myself with both. Mea culpa.
