我喜欢动物劳拉A莫雷蒂“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢？”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。”“在哪方面呢？”我的一个兄弟问道似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的！他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。“我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。”圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人尤其是它们的同类。我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。”“那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。”狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马即它们的食物来源。我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。”他们笑了。“我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单纯地活着。我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。” “那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。“这就是差别之所在吗？”我感到疑惑。“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。”屋里变得异常安静。我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。 “还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。”“最后，”我总结道，“我喜欢动物，因为它们不是伪君子。它们不会说的是一套，做的是另一套。它们，我已经说了，是诚实的。动物而不是人才是地球奉献出的最佳一族。” 相当有趣的是，尽管我的话十分率直，却没有招来他们恶意的评论或丝毫的嘲笑。事实上，接下去的谈话变成了分享他们所知的动物故事，有关于动物的忠诚和灵性的故事，也有关于它们的幽默和纯真的故事。而我反倒成了听众，只偶尔发表一下评论：“嗳，但愿人能像动物一样就好了。”我就这样进行了一场出色的论战；我是代表着我们中间最棒的一个群体上阵的。Honesty is the best policy.
