[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 155894, member: 1323"] Ofcourse "Reason" is a two sided sword. Just as it can be used to justify that one should behave as a human, it can be justified to behave like an animals. We have that choice, and we as humans are the only species on this planet that has that choice. We can kill for pleasure, for survival, for food or whatever, for resources. We have a choice. We have reason. Animals have no choice. They kill for food. They kill for territory. Some even for pleasure (my cat a good example). They operate on instinct and pre-programme. We have the ability to overide that instinct and that programme. That is why animals are not good Sikhs. They will never learn to be better, wheras we as humans can, will and do learn to be better.
