Way to go non-human

That is a leopard in India using his last few moments on this planet to take out as many people as possible.

Forever I will celebrate any non-human species that goes out with a fight.  Caring about your survival enough to defend your extinction.  Despite the odds.  Despite the certainty that you will be terminated.  You fight.  To the death.  We are all animals and just because humans have several biological advantages, does not mean everything else should lay down in submission.

I can appreciate when a house gets destroyed by termites, when locusts take out a field of grain, and definitely when any human of any age gets taken out by a non-human.  Not that I have anything against humans.  Despite some accusations otherwise, I am one.  But, I also respect living as something I must earn everyday.  I will fight for my survival and those I care to defend, but that does not mean I cannot respect the other side of the struggle to survive.

- These were the words of Douglas Sarine. I found them moving, inspiring, and just in general very well said. Not to mention on a badass topic about a leopard and human philosophical values.
