About a month ago I was walking down the streets of Davis Square for some official work, on the way back I was almost inside the subway station, Thats when some one called me and he showed me the picture of burning earth and a very desperate polar bear. I suddenly stopped as it was related to global warming, after all its about our home, which we cant take lightly anymore.
So I stopped for a moment and started listening to what ever that guy had to say. He belonged to "Green peace" organization and he wanted me to be a member of green peace and contribute some money, which will be used to save prevent global warming, he also said by doing it I will save the life of polar bears. Fine, interesting enough and I got very enthusiastic, So I was ready to contribute something. Then suddenly something struck to my mind and I asked him, are you vegetarian? He said I only eat chicken. Fine better than those who eat all living beings but for human. Then I asked him why does he want to save the polar bear and not the chicken? It sounded logical to him at least he said that way there, dont know whether to just get my membership or he really meant it?
Anyways The point today is
Why is life of polar bear more valuable than a chicken? and who valued them in that order? MY question is why is one living being is more valuable than others?
I don't know if I am putting it clearly? But isn't it strange that The entire world wants to save polar bears and not other animals whom they are eating merrily everyday? why is Price for their life is less? Please some one tell me, if you know the answer.

may.. lesser the qty, more the demand... (May also be that we'll never be interested, if that guy shows pic of a chicken and wants membership and donation for saving them.. ;)
