As we all know, we humans are the superior species on Earth. We control and populate/visit most of the planet. We use and consume whatever and whenever we want.
We have a civilization that has been evolving through millennia. Our culture, knowledge and technology is most advanced on our little ball called Earth.
So far so good.
But I was wandering the other day what would happen if all animals got fed up with us and declared a war against us?
“Hey, we won’t take your shit no more!” – they could say.
What if lions, tigers and leopards made an alliance to extinct a “filthy” human? What if birds, crocodiles, elephants, ants, rats, cats, dogs, bees, wolves, bears, horses, sheep, cows joined them?
Let’s look at their forces:
Navy: whales, dolphins, fish, sharks.
Infantry: monkeys, dogs, bears, wolves, ants, rats, lions, tigers.
Cavalry: elephants, horses, zebras, giraffes, hippopotami.
Air forces: birds, bees and other insects.
“Behind-the-line” troops: pets, poultry, cows and sheep.
Not to mention that animals outnumber us by billions…
I believe we (or at least many of us) would be screwed. Maybe humans will prevail at the end (just maybe) but I am sure we would be some billions less in numbers after The Ultimate War.
I just cannot think what would happen if the flora joined war against us. We would be “dead meat”. :)
I have always believed thoughts are in the air, and when music, poetry, fiction, science, or thoughts are articulated, it is just one who was ready to share a thought travelling around the conscience state.
About a month ago, I began a screen play around that very idea. Slowly people begin noticing domesticated animals with more of an attitude. Then many other wild and domesticated animals and plants. Insects have been done in numerous movies. Birds have been exploited. Plants and spiders and nature itself has been depicted as showing animosity. But what, indeed, if the entire non-human community became fed-up and began feeding on those that write on Blogs.
Keep posting more often, Dino.
Look out for the typos. I have updates my blog.
Your brother.
Healthy philosophical excercise, but in reality nature has more good grace. Bees, rats and now a plant that changes colour can detect land mines. Dolphins and elephants are known to help and save humans lives when needed, dogs now are taken into hospitals for human therapy and can smell cancers before medical detection. Nature teaches us something, not aggression.
