Surprisingly Human
I don't like Animal Planet's slogan
I hear it again and again and again
It gives humans too much credit
Most just won't admit it
Animals don't worry
Animals don't care
Souls?
Debatable
Either way
They can carry out a day
They can kill for their food
And watch their own
They can be dependent
And we can learn from their parenting
Just think about it
Life forms with, usually, justified conflict
No wars
Just the survival of the fittest
With humans, it's survival of the sexiest
There's more than a civil plus to animals
They do it
And they have young
And they do it some more
And they just go on like that
They're cunning in skill
And I believe they're all that's left that is real
I'm not an activist by any means
I'm just saying
Animals
If they could feel offence
They'd be offended
