ANTHROPHOBIC

I don’t believe it is an actual word but I have been using it for decades:

Earlier this century my youngest granddaughter said “Nan – you are one!” (Human)

There are several reason I don’t  like humans

It is the human attitude to other life forms that  upsets me the most

I used to think there was something wrong with me because I didn’t accept our cultural norms as absolute:

in our culture

Sociopaths succeed

 Psychopaths are glorified

And mindless automatons fit in.

Humans think they own land and other things

They kill animals for eating “their” crops

Humans kill animals for trespassing on “their” property

 Humans kill insects’ snails  and animals because they can

Our cultural norms and attitudes cause the extinction of other life forms

Having neat and tidy gardens:

Chopping down trees:

using poisons :

killing other life forms that humans label vermin –

“Humans have driven the extinction of at least 881 animal species since around 1500, with many scientists suspecting the true number is far higher, possibly reaching over a million species by some estimates, including threatened ones. Plant and invertebrate extinctions are also significant but less documented. The current rate of species loss is unprecedented, leading to an ongoing sixth mass extinction, a phenomenon primarily caused by human activities like habitat destruction.  “

Knowing a culture and its religion affect language

Western cultures would be so much better if we had these words
