When it comes to things like this, remember that humans aren't just another animal.
I hear people say "We're just animals, too!", and I honestly can't consider that a viable statement. Physical comparisons say we're made of the same stuff. We all have bone, hair, flesh, blood...but if those were the only things required to make the cut, then we'd have a pack of animals marching with signs in protest of the new shopping center that's being put in their forest.
The way we feel, speak, see, and interact with our environment is completely different that that of most animals. We're different, and that's part of life. If reading this comment stirs an emotion inside of you, then you're already experiencing part of the difference.
Face it...we're not just animals anymore. We've moved passed that, for better or for worse.
So, let's not compare ourselves to nature, or what is considered natural, since we pretty well separated ourselves from that before written history even existed. Humans invented morality...so what's "right" and "wrong" isn't determined by things in nature...the expectations dictated by morality come from us.
