"It has been argued that 'such animals are not "human" and should be destroyed and not allowed to breed, lest they weaken the fabric of humanity'... "

Boy is that Nazispeak or what? Any time we start defining any human as "not human" we are dehumanizing ourselves. This is abominable language. Ditto "turning into soap". When we start treating humans as subhuman, the end of our civilization is near. And warranted.
