"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

And you show your own damned stupidity here. Maybe you should look at the history of how this silly notion of "race" came about.

Really? So, basically, you're saying that I have to think humans are better than every other species or else I have to hate myself?

You realize how stupid that is, I hope?

Do you realize how stupid it is to think that other species are equal to (or better than) humans and that we should put their interests above our own or at least on par with our own?

No other species has "interests," because no other species on the planet is intelligent.

EDIT: Aside from basic interests, like living, mating, and eating.
