Animals and people are not equivalent.
We have dominion over the animals.
It is good and right to protect endangered species. And to prevent animal cruelty. But not to elevate animals to some sort of sacred position, or go ballistic on a man who made a move that seems almost genetically implanted in us; kids run at flocks of birds all the time. We are hunters and etc. If there is a fine, so be it. But the man is not a moral monster.
Too bad you think that way.
