own characters. This high philosophy is not inconsistent with 

 the proper use of animals in any kind of service, nor does it pre- 

 vent the destroying of those forms that torment ourselves or our 

 animal friends. In some countries, as, for example, India, many 

 forms of animals are deified, housed in temples, worshiped, and 

 regarded with such awe that no one dares to kill one of them even 

 to put it out of extreme misery. Yet our own people are much 

 more humane than these worshipers of animals, and without any 

 of their befogging and heathenish philosophy. As we extend our 

 power over the animals it will ever be with a growing sense of 

 respect for their myriad forms, and a corresponding sense of our 

 own responsibility to their Creator and ours for the way in which 

 we exercise our undivided dominion.
