Animals show empathy, humans do not

[Catherine]

This is a blog post that makes interesting reading. The author makes a point about the natural empathy of non human animals and the glaring lack of empathy in many humans.

We don't look too good.

I think we need to look at ourselves and try to do better. I don't know if we are worse than before or do we now have the ability to do worse things.
As a species we need to clean up our act. The sooner we do t the better. It is embarrassing to be human these days. I want to tell animals out there that I am not like the cruel people they encounter. It is pretty sad when you would like to disown your own species.  I know we are not all cold and unfeeling, but sometimes it feels like many people are that way. Maybe we need to disown them.
