Can anyone hep me understand what looks like a glaring moral inconsistency? Why would these scientists want to help these ants when very likely they went home for dinner to eat animals who were also imprisoned (and then killed for food)? I am vegan now, so it seems very logically erratic to eat one species and then care so much for another. I know that before I was vegan I had many of the same inconsistencies. But I still don't understand it.
