Comment by Bhavani Prakash on September 11, 2011 at 3:23am: Thanks for sharing, Richa..it's a well conceived logo.

Nicely put, @Adam...we are 'speciest' in our approach to the rest of the inhabitants of the planet!

Comment by Adam Halliday on September 6, 2011 at 3:32pm: Yes, the logo as usual treats humans as the most important species. Don't you think that in a way, we are being "racist", that we have double standards about the value of life?

Is an animal (please pardon me for using the word to distinguish between humans and other life-forms, although humans are also animals) given the right to live only because it will help a human survive?

If this is the way the human species has started to think, are there not deeply ethical issues involved? And if an animal has to die for the survival of a human, then would we agree that it could also be vice versa, that a human should also die for the survival of an animal if the need arises?

Sometimes i think, with all the damage we as a species have caused nature, nature is just biding it's time to get even and damage us as a race. i think here in this country we call it karma. but this is not soemthing spiritual, which is abstract. this is literally flesh and blood.
