The Worlds of God by -U.S.Baha'i National Ref Library Committee- 1 Para

"If the animals are savage and ferocious it is simply a means for their subsistence and preservation. The are deprived of that degree of intellect which can reason and discriminate between right and wrong, justice and injustice; they are justified in their actions and not responsible. When man is ferocious and cruel toward his fellowman it is not for subsistence or safety. His motive is selfish advantage and wilful wrong... There is no lower degree or greater debasement for man than this natal condition of animalism." (Pup 346) (64:4)
