It's racism. They think human lives are more important than other races.

Yes, exactly. The complexity of the human soul is uncomparable to the basic impulses of any animal.

Embryos don't have souls. The soul develops during the third trimester.

If you can play music into your belly and get a kick, that thing has a soul. But there's a lot of time where it's not that developed.

Poor choice of words on my part, perhaps. Maybe, if I chose "mind, instead of the more poetic word "soul" people would not reply about how an embryo is not ensouled.

But please tell me, was your original comment about racism towards animals sarcastic? It is sometimes hard to tell, and it seems almost like a position someone would hold.
