I was referrring to ego in the sense of egotism; conceit; self-importance. >Creating virtual 'ego' for other animals (as you do) I don't.

Then give up the 'superior' conceit. Man is at the moment dominant, but has been so for only a few centuries, a mere tick of the ecological clock. In that time we have done much harm with our attitude of superiority and conceit. >Evolution happened, the bible is book of tales, Agreed. >animals are inferior In our opinion, according to our criteria... >and 'God' is irrelevant period.
