Penguins!

<< < (4/4)

Alexander:
March of the Penguins is a very well made documentary. It is similar to a National Geographic doc that was out a few years ago. It definitely is an amazing and fascinating story.

Ari:
I thought it was a pretty good film.  Interesting animals.  Also according to a recent Snapple bottle, Penguins are the only bird that can swim but not fly.  I don't know why this little bottle-cap fact stuck in my head.

Bodhi:

I always think its rather crazy for there to be animal welfare charities when there are Humans dying, yet still Gods creation deserves respect.

They are impressive creatures Sarah. I think we should study animals and certainly not do anything to harm them but to put them over and above humans that are in need is wrong headed.

I think in some cases they should be put over humans, like in situations where their decline is caused by human activity.  We have a responsibility to G-d's creatures to try to correct our mistakes and minimize the damage done by human related activities.

I wouldn;t go so far as to say they should be put above humans, but I do agree with what you are saying basically....we have free will, free thought, and (in most cases) a conscience..........so G-d creates these situations I think to test our character, and give us the opportunity to do the right thing, but also the opportunity to fail, and learn from it.
