I'm with you, Mary. People who think our wildlife exists just for their amusement

My neighbours cat appears to enjoy killing the birds in my back
garden. Does that make it a lower life form than a slug?

I don't think the "highness" or "lowness" of a lifeform is dictated by
whether it enjoys killing.
