We Seem To Have It All Backwards
The deer's house bears no human heads upon it's walls.
No grizzly bear was ever fined for trashing the forest.
No gorilla ever built a nuclear power plant, nor split the atom.
You will never see a Bass snag a 160 pound human on it's line.
Slaughter houses are not run by cows, pigs or chickens;
you can't buy “human-burgers”.
No crack-buzzed rabbit or squirrel has ever been arrested.
No cats have ever "trashed" a rest stop or public park.
I have never seen a white sheep,
burn a cross on a black sheep's pasture land.
No dolphin ever buried a land-mine on the ocean floor.
Not one NASA Astro-Chimp has ever, knowingly,
blown up a shuttle full of it's own species or any other.
There are no records of lions, tigers or elephants
burning temples or synagogues.
And yet, we have the audacity to call them...
"Dumb-Animals"!
