The point with zincs isn’t about vegetarianism or veganism either.
I mean, I don’t eat meat, but I have nothing against it in a general matter.
Another thing entirely is the mindset of „animals - humans”.
1. Humans are animals
2. Humans use the word „animal” to describe undignifying, aggressive behaviour. And so „animal” becomes a negative word, that means „dumb” and „unworthy” and so on.
3. Because of that the human use of word „animal”, inspires humans (even in a subconcious level) to think of other animals as lesser beings, which is simply not true. The common use of these words make it seem, like there’s a distinct difference of quality between the two, and not simply a difference in the way we perceive the world.
The aftermath of such thinking leads humans then to not care about the dog’s feelings or pain, because „he’ll get over it, he’s just an animal”, or to kick that dog, because apparently an animal can’t feel pain or whatever.
And so instead of using a word, that on it’s own is fine, but in the broader context is quite hurtful, I’ve decided to use an abbreviation that would take us all closer together.
