Um... well that's the whole point of my post (I guess I'm not very good at expressing myself today ). Of course we are the competitor! But as the ultimate competitor, would the elephant, or any other animal, strive to prevent our extinction? Would any other animal mourne if we as a species dissapeared from the earth?
It was asked earlier what qualities separated us from the other animals. I merely pointed out that our concern for the welfare of other species (as evident in many of the posts) makes us kinda special (or kinda wierd ) in the animal kingdom.
