For a moment I didn't believe what I had seen [a dog teaching something to another dog]. We are so chauvinistic and so brainwashed to humans being superior to other forms that the ignorance this causes has become something close to horrific.  The bullshit--certainly the most appropriate word--about manifest destiny and how we have dominion over all other creatures has caused such terrors as vivisection, cosmetic testing, use of animals (particularly beagles, for some reason) in aerospace testing, and I think ultimately led to such monstrosities as death camps and genocide, which are really nothing more than an insanely rabid expression of one race thinking they are superior to another.
