Passionate morality

Helen Howe's letter about killing Myna birds is one of passionate morality.

Reverence for life is a doctrine that has been taught by many famous and also humble people.

"Live and let live" is a common folk morality.

As the philosopher, Schopenhauer, said: "That animals have no rights and that our treatment of them has no moral significance is an outrageous example of crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only morality."

Cruelty to animals leads to cruelty to humans, true.
