Bad animals...

Heard a great interview on CBC Radio One's The Sunday Edition with Farley Mowat a couple of Sundays ago. He referred to humans as bad animals in that we treat other species and the environment so horribly. Very engaging, humourous, in-your-face interview. Also read a piece on him the Toronto Star where he touches on that subject again with the following quote:
"I am absolutely sure that the human species has not very far to go, in terms of lifetime on Earth...And I couldn't care less. Life will continue on after we're gone. There have been lots of evolutionary mistakes. What's one more?"
I'm looking forward to reading his latest book Otherwise.

I hope I'm as ornery as him at aged 87....
