Answer 1

I feel most guilt when driving my car due to the pollution we cause but we have very limited alternatives.

Answer 2

Yes, I have. As a matter of fact, several times. It's very ironic how people throughout history have strived to advance in every subject on earth....in technology, health, the economy, yet, it seems that as we strive more and more towards perfection and convenience, counter-effects overpower all of our achievements. When we find a drug that can kill a deadly bacterium or virus, it gains spores and becomes stronger. We advance in technology, yet destroy the ecosystem. It seems like more and more problems are spurring from the individual--with wars, bombings, identity thefts, pollution, pornography, obesity, and so much more--rather than the world itself. In our attempts to "fix" the world, we're actually destroying it. I think what we need to realise that every human being is imperfect. We cannot figure everything out in this world, and some things are truly left best alone. But now, we've come so far, until where it's impossible to just stop "advancing" or turn back the hands of time. And even if we could, we would still be disappointed because there has never been a perfect era in history. People have been messing up since the beginning of time. So now we're just left to keep going, do what we feel best as an individual, and hope for the best.

Answer 3

I am a vegetarian and I don't have to kill animals for food. But even if I am not, it is not wrong to kill for food.
Does a lion feel guilty after killing a deer?
Does a snake feel guilty after killing a frog?
Killing for fun or for making leather jackets etc. may be called bad.
If other animals are a part of ecosystem, the we too are a part. Humans and animals are not different from each other. Then how can you say, "animals and humans were meant to co exist in the world"... you are discriminating between one form of animals (humans) with the other form !! A different type of racism??

Answer 4

It is a lot of the civilized nations who practice Genocide on all types of living creatures, including their own.

The number of native species are disappearing at an alarming rate. I read in the news the other day that the world's oceans would be depleted by 2048 of fish and other underwater species.

The hole in the ozone is getting bigger everyday because of human waste and pollution.

Instead, of feeling guilty be one of the ones that does something about it. A collective conscious or mindset is powerful medicine for what is currently plaguing and sickening our planet. Maybe just designate certain areas as industrial zones and others as protected - rainforests, oceans, natural habitats.

To co-exist with animals is natural and right, but, we are slowly cutting off the circle of life. One break in this fragile chain that has endured since time began is in danger of being broken because humans are unable to co-exist in harmony and beauty with this life-giving world we have been blessed with.

Answer 5

It is all part of evolution. Humans have the capacity for thought. I'm sure the Chinese thought it was the right thing to do. If packs of wild dogs were in your neighborhood I'm sure you would want something done. There is also the question of infestation and sanitation. In order for humanity to survive there has to be a level of cleanliness that is not supported by letting everything co-exist.

Answer 6

When the human race is numb, what with so much killings around the world , what can we expect? Over a period of time we , humans have become desensitised . Here you are talking about China and the dog. There , the chinese may be talking about the war in Iraq and the killings there. There is no rationale anymore.

We all have to learn from the collective europe. They are conscious of evrything that affects the humanity. There , in Europe, I have seen that every individual does his/her part and they donot expect the governments to do things for them.

Answer 7

I understand your anxiety, and sometimes I feel really desperate for the same reasons. If I only think of all the beautiful animals that are threatened by our ever-expanding greed and by the increasing number of people on this planet.
What I can individually contribute is this: As far as I can influence it, I see it as my duty to treat all beings with due respect and dignity. Being a voracious meat-eater, it is for example a matter of deep concern for me how the animals are kept and slaughtered and I fight for any improvement as to their rights. Respect for our fellow-creatures!
I have no understanding for any excessive abuse of nature such as drilling for oil in nature reserves etc. I think it is clear that we need some energy (heating, transport, production ...), but we should be humbler and show more respect to values that are not easily translated into profit and money.
I cannot change the world, but I can live according to these criteria, and I can try to influence my direct surroundings in this direction.

Very little, I’m afraid,
but better little than nothing at all

Answer 8

The polution by manufacturing that has caused animals harm I feel guilty about. But for survival I don't. That's a natural part of nature. Other animals kill other animals, even their own kind. They do it because they have to survive. I think it's worth the effort to save a species from the brink of extinction, but many species have died out. Not from the hands of humans, but from natural changes and survival of more fit animals. Also keep in mind if humans hunt or destroy animals because they're too many of them. Most of those animals will die of starvation, so it comes down to sometimes it more humane to destroy them. Animals and humans are meant to coexist, but humans are basically animals too. And it comes down to who's more fit. I would think if other animals had the ability to whipe out humans and increase their own chances of survival they'd do it in a heartbeat. It's instinct.

Answer 9

well, as for the chinese destroying dogs, we do the same thing over here with various animals, deer hunting is one example, they would starve otherwise since we've also killed off most natural predators and turned forests into housing developments. The chinese also grow dogs for food you know, st bernards are supposed to be very good food animals. I dont know where you got the idea that we were supposed to co exist with animals, not from the bible, as for duty, well i agree that is would be wise to save some and stupid not to, but who ever said humans were smart.

Answer 10

The dogs were actually destroyed because of a massive outbreak of rabies.
with the Chinese population living in such close quarters their government could not take the chance of massive human infection also....
Also...
No I've never felt guilty about the survival of the human race.
It does sadden me sometimes though to see how we've polluted our good planet not for survival but for gain.

Answer 11

I often feel guilty for the level of wastage that humans produce in the course of "civilized" life. As for destroying animals for survival, that is the law of the jungle; however, it seems that "civilization" has raised the bar on this concept so that he is just begging for a larger predator to come down on him. That predator is the Earth. Eventually, Man will poison himself out of existence, and then the Earth will re-balance itself.
