"Why shouldn't I kill people? Why is it wrong?
People kill lots of animals, don't they? And trees and plants. Do they care? Humans don't give it a second thought, the carnage in their wake. Why is that? Because plants are not as smart? Because animals can't talk back? Does that mean you can kill things that can't talk and aren't as smart as you?.....Animals kill other creatures all the time; to eat and to survive. But people don't need a reason. Humans kill without thought, just because it suits their purpose. They'll even kill each other- on a whim! ...So tell me, why are humans the only animal to be exempted from the law of the hunt? Because they're stonger than any other, top of the heap? What if..an even stronger, smarter creature came along? Could it kill people? Would that be ok?
So I ask you again..why shouldn't I kill people? Why is it wrong?"
