Growing up in a cultural geography where almost all non-humans are  
gods and goddesses, aids to gods to travels, helpers, protectors, co- 
travellers, wise narrators, the ones asking the most difficult  
ethical questions, i am not sure why this question is self- 
explanatory. Which cultural knowledge gives the confidence to  
denigrate at this level the non-humans.?

And which non-human had made knives, bombs, tanks, explosives to kill  
others of its same species and other species?
