This is really an interesting title + topic. I would like to share a story that was told to me. According to the question given, maybe from the story will answer the question? do we tamper to suite our convenience at the expense of the animal or do we tamper because it is for the good of the animal? Once upon a time, there was a village which has been a haven for lizards for some time. The villagers are all having a hard time cleaning up their food and bed of lizard's litters. There exist a kampung boy where he earned the good reputation of wiping out all all the lizards in the kampung which caused such a nuisance, as they litter everywhere. As he wiped out every each on of the lizards, he became the kampung's celebraties. Little did they know that this 'comfortable' situation lasted for only 6 months. Why? One by one the villagers started to die. They did not know the cause as they did not have any medical means... even the boy lizard killer fell victim to the almighty power of dengue. Never did they realise the pesky lizards were their only form of protection from the venomous mosquitoes, protecting their babies and families. Never did they realise the only to repay the lizards was just to wipe and clean their belongings once a day. Never did they realise the pesky lizards could be their saviour Please don't laugh at the silliness of this story as we are all the villagers... and some of us are the small kampung boy in the story. Every single living/non-living thing has a purpose of existence in this world. Ever heard of food chain ? Japan tried to rule earth, Japan was partially destroyed. Hitler tried genocide on Jews, Nazis were trounced. The time when we played God, we get ourselves destroyed. Another qoute that was given to me: We, humans, have done so much to destroy our earth, but so little to protect the land that we're walking on, just because of one reason.
