There's a profound thread of (self)-loathing and species guilt running through a lot of animal-activist thought. I've seen it among the furry community too, but there it takes a weird step sideways: "Humans are the most evil, selfish, awful creatures in creation; good thing I'm not one of them, eh?"
Where is the beauty of nature, however, without consciousness to appreciate it?
