The ability to work together and make tools, plans etc. is more the point. It is the diversity and ability of mans achievements that sets him and his predecessors above the animal. Speech, Poetry, Art etc.... The ability for self sacrifice and to believe in things bigger than himself. Tell the War heroes who gave their live for you they are animals.

Me being able to draw food doesn’t mean that I can eat it, without the use of tools humans are far lower on the food chain.

Edit: For you last add-on to your post.
Now you are trying to change the subject of what you posted. Animals have been shown to sacrifice themselves for others in their pack or even for their human masters.

We were smart enough to not need to hunt. When I see cats training there prey to fatten themselves up to feed millions............
Arithmetic is always a help in hunting, it lets you know how much ammo you have.

Good for you.

Exposition: It seems that any thread that has a news article about animal abuse is immediately filled with posts about the various tortures that ought to be inflicted upon the perpetrator of the animal abuse. Even the posts that are not advocating heinous vengeance are emotionally charged. However, it seems that any thread involving crimes of humans against fellow humans is met with less outrage.Statement: The observation of the disparity between animal abuse threads and human abuse threads may be mistaken.
Reiteration: Why are animals regarded more highly in some respects than humans?
(Clarification: The abuse of animals by humans provokes more outrage than the abuse of humans by humans and thus seems that people hold the animals in higher regard than humans.)
I believe that some people do regard animals higher than humans. Though logically speaking there is not much difference between us and them, either way (regarding Humans or Animals higher) is basically just a specicist few on par with racism or xenophobia.
I can admit though that I am specicist, and though future generations may condemn me...**** them...animals are my slaves.
Originally posted by Yo Mom loves itAgain, all of this required tools to do; we would have never been able to domestic animals for consumption without the use of tools. We couldn’t keep them corralled without the use of tools and we would have to follow the heard to get our food. Face it without tools we don’t stand a chance in the food chain; we had to use tools to protect ourselves from the elements and other predators because we do not have the natural defenses to overcome their physical advantages.

Shut up, Bardock. 😠

Hope all is well. 🙂
no animal can be more or less evolved than another
there are instances where you can compare change in genetics from a common ancestor of two species to know which has undergone more evolutionary changes, and in the case of chimps and humans, we have had less changes than them. Calling them more evolved is rather meaningless though.
Statement: In order to prove that other animals are sentient, Shakyamunison must provide the proof that they are sentient--it is impossible for FeceMan to prove that they lack sentience.
Addendum: However, as animals lack the raw mental capacity of humans, they are lessers.
Anticipated Query: "Why does intellect equal superiority?"
Pre-emptive Reply: Intellect equals superiority because humans have the ability to do things that animals cannot. Humans can create art and philosophy; humans have a conscience and the ability to know right from wrong; humans are entirely separate from animals in this regard.

Therefore a mentally retarded person is an animal and has no rights. If intellect is your only measure of superiority, then you will fall very short because there are a lot of stupid humans walking around on this Earth.
