We "humans" are very far from being wise stewards of a planet
[Read the article: An Olympic disgrace]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Whenever I read articles about countries and how they mistreat animals and when I read about the seal hunt and when I read history books, I realize that we "humans" do not deserve the title. We have committed genocide, war, and terrible, inhumane treatment of animals throughout our "his"story and it has been "his" story.
The patriarchal model of society is based on a domination of anything that is not white, wealthy male and the results are everywhere: bloodshed, atomic weapons, animals being skinned alive, tortured, tested upon, etc etc. The good news is if we keep this up we "humans" will probably destroy the planet and good riddance is what I have to say. Maybe a kinder, gentler species will come after us.
Is it too late? yes and no. Yes, if we dont change from this dominator model to a partnership society based on empathy and nurture instead of conquest and slaughter.
Our days are numbered and I, for one, am celebrating the end of the warrior race and waiting for the human race to appear on earth.
