Yeah. What's up with people believing that just cuz something is an abstract concept, that it has no relevance to reality? Concepts are a model of reality, so to say they don't exist doesn't make sense when they are based on something that does exist in the first place.
Anyways, human life is more important than animal life because that's just the way it works. One's own species is a priority over every other species, and I'm sure animals think the same way.
Just that a concept is subjective doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. What's up with people believing that concepts must themselves be non-existant if not representing divine commands in flaming stone letters across the universe?
Yay, vague mockery. I wish I could make a point. I though that "subjective" and "abstract" were not complete and exclusive synonyms.
