Many mammals are delicious? Other than that, I like animals a lot.
Machines deserve no such empathy, just a flick of the power switch as required. And I watched Automata (2014) last night. Didn't feel a single thing for the robots, as much as the film tries to goad you into doing so.
Where do other mammals fit in your schema? Do you believe in some sort of biological essentialism? Or are only humans with caring about?
