How can people be soo crual to animals?

Please do continue.

Actually hippos deserve it. They kill more African human beings than any other animal.

other than The White Man.

Not like snakes then?

I forgot about them. Hippos kill more humans than crocs, lions or hyenas though.

You need to differentiate between humans and animals. Firstly would you like to be treated like an animal? Put on a leash and put in a kennel?

We need culls of animals for population controll why not groups of humans?

I'm not up on Animal rights thinking or its critiques but I know your veiw is a very twisted one.

But surely if you are against animal cruelty, which is the original point, then you will also be against human cruelty and thus avoid horrors such as the holocaust because you care what happens to people.

What about dragons?

"We can't conceive of a very much worse case of animal cruelty than this."


Hmmm, i can. Lynching a hippo using a rope made of worms and snakes. In the hippo's mouth is a family of wingless geese, bleating as they drown in a huge mouth of saliva and blood.

I won't go on.

hilarious!

you cant beat Roast Albatross with Seal pup sauce IMO.

Hippo's are supposed to be horses arn't they? Those fat fucks eat to much.

So they kill more people than any other four legged beast... good to know.

Dragons live in Indonesia.

Apart from maleria carrying mosquitoes with 2 legs missing, yes.

Animals in the wild have more of a survival instinct against cruelty. My original post was about domestic animals that are really only there for us to have as pets. They rely on us. Animals in the wild dont.

Thats not the point, I'm arguing they are not morally equal or equivellant. Humans are worth more than animals.


Braders isnt an animal, he's a vegtable so ranks even lower.

Fat! People can indeed be so cruel to animals.

there was a dragon living under my bed when I was little.... not sure where it lives now - swear it ate those lovely dunlop volley trainers I loved so much and lost....

personally I think its ok to be cruel to flies - they aren't an animal so I am exempt, its good to catch them and pull their wings off....

I thought viruses where the most leathal animals.

Ah, the animal cruelty debate. A minefield of hypocrisy if ever there was one. If people took it to its logical conclusion then everybody would starve to death.

Perhaps. But you also said "Thats the kind of thinking that led to the holocaust." That statement is wrong. Being against animal cruelty will not make a holocaust event more likely. But I understand what you are saying re moral equality.

 

[Meade's Ball]

And they use commodes!!

Just like Lionel Richie did.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

simster. it appears that when you are saying its wrong to compare animals and humans your view is that that means downgrading a humans status to that of an animal.

if you think of it in the view of upgrading an animals status to that comparable of a human then all these refferences to humans being treatred as animals goes out the window.
