And do not say only God has the right to do that.
We are God.
Not what you expected eh?
We told you we stripped you of your Dominion over animals and that you had
failed and would not go up to the next level.
Now you will LEARN to be nice to them and learn one of the prime rules of
existence.

You NEVER cause suffering of any kind to any other life form.
And you will learn humans.
We do have the right to teach you and punish you for your atrocious and
cruel and shocking treatment of helpless little animals and creatures.
And when you have had a dose yourselves of the kind suffering you have
caused THEM.
You will certainly never do this kind of thing again.
THE BORG
