All life “desires” to live. Maybe not in a human or even mammalian sense. But nothing tries to die. And every living thing errs toward sustenance. A plant will grow towards the nearest path of light so that it can best recieve food. A tree root will find the most efficient path to moist soil.

Your criteria for what has value is based on arbitrary things such as size, eyeballs, and similarity in anatomy to humans.

Deep Ecology is a nonsensical worldview. Do you feel remorse when you step on the sidewalk and kill millions of bacteria? No, because that’s stupid. How do you feel when you unintentionally step on ants? Probably not much remore. Caterpillars? Maybe a little more remorse than ants - still not much. Mice? Squirrels? Cows? Trend continues. It’s all arbitrarily based. Your morals are founded in nothing but blind assumtions of value.

It is impractical to hold this worldview. Not only that, but to shame those who do not abide by your arbitrary beliefs? Smh
