It's easy to love a cute puppy, or to feel bad for a bear.
For Westerners, and others, there's a cultural subset of species that are dishonored for various reasons: flies, roaches, snakes, and spiders for example. Indeed, many carry diseases and others are just pests, but all are critters with lives. It's a bit like people, actually. We want to try to love each and everyone, and especially those who are annoying and even dangerous. They need love the most.  |
