Heck, I heard people say on TV that the intelligence of a parrot rivals that of a 5 year-old! I mean, what kind of total CRAP is that?

Let's face it, the average animal rights activist , (and I do know a few) is a middle-aged veganwoman who has no chance of getting married, because she isn't pretty, or whatever, and, most of all,if they've never had kids, they're really cooky. That's true even with some married couples weknow, who don't have kids, and are beyond the point of being able to.

One of the things that occurs, is that they need to have a sense of maternity, and they will lust it, and if they don't get it, they'llpour out they're maternal instinct on other things to substitute children, and these are most commonly living things, such as plants, or animals.

One thing about maternal instinct is, that from what I have witnessed from my own mother, and other mothers, is that maternal instinct very easily cansurpass patriotism, and other such important responsibilities.

In certain situations, all that will matter, is the safety of her child, or substitute.

In order to feel that way, they must thouroughly believe that their child, has a soul, and is able to love, and be responsible.
For mothers, this is very well accepted, because we once were little kids, and we relied on this instinct to survive, and to feel purpose, so we never question maternal instinct, unless it's being used for a non-human, or an irrelevant thing to our existence.

So,bottom line, the people who are the source ofAnthropomorphism, are mainly females, who have substitutes for real children,and theirmaternal instinctmakes them believe that their substitutes have human value to them, because it gives them, and their sacrifice, purpose.

And being proud of their substitute, they spread their belief around.

Just my 2 cents,
