: As my personal view, vegans or vegetarians don't claim superiority,
: we claim equality to animals, equality because they suffer the pain,
: the horrors of being trapped, transported and killed as well as human
: do, we claim that animals donīt deserve to be treated like machines,

You claim superiority because you claim that animals don't deserve to be treated the same way you treat plants. That's where you claim to be superior, and in a very hypocritical way.

While you're at it, why don't you say that "2+2=5"? If we can define common, easily understood terms any way we wish, then we might as well be speaking gibberish because our speech becomes meaninless to anyone but us.

My very thick dictionary does not define "jerarchy" or any thing similar. Is this an obscure term or just more gibberish?
