Great quote, but I'm not too sure if that will ever happen though.
It's true for some, like a lot of the members of PETA.

I prefer animals. They are much nicer, they don't care what you look like, and they love you no matter what you do. I even prefer wild animals to most people, wild animals don't do any bad to you unless you go into their territory or something.

I once had a hamster that commited suicide. He lunged out of his cage and took the big leap, landed on the kitchen floor Poor poor hamster...I don't even remember his name...or if he was even a he.
Well anyways, I don't feel that a human life is more valuable than a animals' and vise versa. I believe that every life is just as valuable as the next. Sure animals are great, but, like its been mentioned, their communication with people is limited.

That's not really commiting suicide, I don't think s/he tried to die.

With animals, you can't really have conversations like you do with other people, but you can communicate really well with them in other ways. Just like how good horseman can communicate with horses.

I'm sure the hamster didn't, I was only joking

I only meant that an animals communication is limited with humans in comparison to another human being. Actually I guess it just depends on how much you're willing to pay attention and listen, whether it be a human or an animal.

I thought you might have been. Sorry about that.

Interesting, I wonder what it would be like if animals could talk .... Oh yeah, been done already ...oO(Dr Doolittle).
I had a mouse kill itself by trying to squeeze out between the bars of its cage. It got caught and died. Potentially suicide but not certain. My other pets all ran away but I'm certain they died very soon after, so a bit of exaggeration on my part. I had one bunny that was eaten to death by my neaighbours dog once.
