Animals less evil

Somsak Pola in his Feb 13 letter wants to know why the wildlife animals who were recently killed were given more sympathy than the red shirts who died during their 2010 revolt.

Maybe the difference is that the animals didn’t attempt to burn down the city of Bangkok or overrun a hospital terrorising the innocent people there.

It is the height of human arrogance to believe that only human life matters when animals can suffer just as much and are far less evil.
