/^t/More opposition comes from the belief that humans are far greater than animals. Therefore, in the opponents' point of view, it is too time-consuming to be involved with militant animal rightists in the protection of a different species. Some people believe, that animals are of no real consequence and that human life is the only thing that should be protected. Still, at least due to forceful activities by animal liberators a small amount of the general public have become more aware about the rights for living creatures. One has to realise that humans are only one species among many on earth, yet humans totally dominate the other animals by confinement, torture and death. Although in general, people care about the rights of living creatures, sometimes it takes an illegal act by animal rightists, for people to become more involved in the protection of animals.
