Sorry, we have too little in common to "work" together, for the same reasons I couldn't "work" with Goering or Hitler. They were animal rights extremists and white supremacists.  The problem with assigning equal "value" to animal and human lives is that arguing in it's just as bad to kill a cat as to kill a human, you UNAVOIDABLY argue it's no worse to kill a human than to kill a cat. No laws in any country on earth agree with you--not since the Third Reich, at any rate--only "animal liberation" maniacs like Peter Singer.

Allah forbid we ever again legally recognize equivalency between human and animal life. That's how people of the "wrong" religion or "race" end up experiments in the "J. Mengele makeover clinic"--put at least puppies and bunnies weren't hurt.

I'm a biologist, and my understanding of the natural world is uncluttered by sanctimonious self-delusions--still less the hubris and self-entitlement of cartoon-indoctrinated urbanites.  Impossible for us to agree.
