It's still not right, though.
    Even in reptiles, pain is displayed. Roughly a week ago, when I contradicted myself and killed a local blind snake, aside from permanently scarring my conscious and adding to my life regrets, I saw its dying body writhe in pain. Maybe it's just because they are blinded from prejudgment and the hatred they learned. What I saw was a suffering being that was dying, even though it was a simply blind snake- a few steps up from the earthworm I thought it was- and in seeing that, I blamed myself and learned a valuable lesson the hard way. I vowed not to kill any animal just out of prejudged disgust or hatred, but to respect them. They did not choose to be born that way, and from killing them just because their genes say that they have to be that way, is simply prejudice. People are blinded from the hatred of other's hearsay, and in being oblivious to the pain of another being, they share the thoughts of other's who developed the historical autrocities upon mankind, only it isn't noticed, because these are just animals.
