I've read the tread (or the most of it I could) And for one as apealing it is to see humanity as virus or bacteria, if feel more for the idea of a tun of little individuals trying to do what they think is right and needed. In Australia a women can cherish cats and give them food out of love but unwillingly unleash them in an area that had no predators. A biologist wants to protect an marine area and thus needs to studie it to prove it's worth, in doing so he sacrifices 100 000 little sea animals... People have started wars and killed because they taught they were doing the right thing. Alsmost every one i met being bad or good had a feelt like he/she tried to do what was right in her or his belief.
As a species i find that humans are the worlds best eradicators. In past times there were always one or other species that dominated the earth, we are just the most effective one of them. Just hope that in the near future men wil realize it pays of to think ahead. But i have hope. And as a lasrt thing I realy hope mankind will stop thinking in this way:" well it works for now but might give some problems in the future but we'll find a solution than, were smart enough" see nuclear energie(we'll find a solution to the waste.
The people thaat use animals probably thing they need to and make themselves belief it is needed. I've seen tests on rats where they drill electrodes in their brain this in order to cure epilepsi in humans. They believe the'll help men... but do they respect life? If larian realy put it there as a statement i don't think so it was i guess a joke inspired on the crazy way people think. It's a game made by people who believe they do the right thing, we walk in a place they created with the beliefs they have. So i don't think it's ment te be a statement, it's just how they thinnk.
