Human beings, convinced of their superity over animal kingdom, are seldom disturbed about the pain and death they bring to other species. For example, South Americans birds, desired by zoos, pet shops, and private collections, are frequently packed into small boxes and flown to foreign countries. Many of the birds, however, do not survive the trip, but die of suffocation. And birds are not the only victims. Hunters in search of baby orang utans shoot mothers who are hiding in treetops and wait for the babies to fall to the ground. Many of the babies cannot be caught and fall to their death. Seals, prized for their skins, which make lovely winter coats, are brutally slaughtered by hunters who club and skin almost immediately. Sometimes, the seals are skinned alive because a hunter was not skilful with his club.
