I'd also like to see certain species that are approaching true sentience, such as dolphins, apes, and possibly pigs, elephants, and dogs, put under protection so that they cannot be killed legally for anything but self-defense. Some day, any of these may evolve into the second truly sentient, intelligent species on this planet.
If I had one wish, though, I think I'd use it to abolish all corrupt governments. Every dictator, despot, monarch, and 'chairman' should be toppled. Only Republic- or Democratic- based governments should be allowed to exist. |
Your one wish sounds good, however as for the vegetarian issue and milk, well I guess you'll soon enough find my split thread about those very topics. And as for only "dolphins, apes, and possibly pigs, elephants, and dogs being sentient"is very idealized, because those are the the ones we see mostly around us and in the media. The fact is ALL animals are sentient beings, not just a select elite few.
