Article: "The Lives Of Others"
The Lives Of Others
Thoughts after reading the article: Dominating others at their expense is wrong, whether the victims are humans or animals. Attempting to justify violent exploitation in terms of some perceived benefit or as part of some noble quest or pre-ordained destiny only makes the violence that much more tragic and detestable.
By Benjamin Zephaniah
