Holocaust survivor defends animals

[Catherine]

I think it is a recognition that human beings are capable of terrible things. There are people who will kill anything cruelly and without regard for the suffering they inflict. The Nazis had no trouble finding people to work for them during the Holocaust. We have no trouble finding people to work in slaughter houses, fur farms, seal hunts and any number of other cruel places.

Most people wouldn't actually do the killing, but enough would.

If we do not bring this tendency under control then who is to say there won't be another human holocaust. Bosnia and Rwanda definitely indicate that this is so.

We either become a kinder more enlightened species or we will keep repeating our worst atrocities in some form or another.
