I suppose the difference with me is that I don't share the notion that human beings are somehow inherently superior to other animals. Obviously I marginally prefer interacting with humans and I value human life over that of other animals, but that's just hardwired because I am one.

We are no better than other animals and there's no reason to pretend we are, although I do understand the confusion between the derogatory and neutral slang uses of the word.

Must agree with Hat, though, 'whore' is more accurate for the girls on the TB.
