So a pig would be happier on your plate than in a field? And you may say that a pigs life is pointless compared to a humans. But guess what. A humans life is pointless compared to what Galactus's would be. You may also say that pigs are unable to communicate with us. Spend some time in an abattoir, there can be no confusion over their feelings on the matter once the killing starts.
Bugs no. Animals yes : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4595810.eceFirst off, bugs don't feel complex emotions like love. Secondly, why does the world end with Galactus's death. "

The world ends with Galactus's death because that's how it's written. It's like superman flying, it doesn't have to be logical, it's fiction.

said:Why is that? As shown we're not the only species with emotions (even complex ones) and when looking at the whole picture there are much more useful species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copepod http://www.drudge.com/archive/90802/bees-mans-future-dying http://www.naturegrid.org.uk/biodiversity/plants/crypalga.html Fact is if humans were wiped out tomorrow a new dominant species would take our place soon enough. Emotions are not a rare occurrence and do not make us "special". Especially when put into the context of a fictitious universe with countless billions of "Civilized" worlds. Not that I like the idea of being eaten, I just don't delude myself that I have an unwritten right to step out of the hunter/prey scenario. Survival of the fittest and all that. "" @joshmightbe said:
Yes they do. "" @box turtle: to galactus all our emotions are considered pointless any way so thats not really a valid argument people have no more or less right to exist than any other life form. "
The animals that have complex emotions aren't eaten. And survival of the fittest makes no sense because the guiding morals are superior.
