No evidence exists that other animals aren't the same. In fact I'd say one would have a difficult time trying to argue otherwise.Originally Posted by Dingy

I have to apologize for that gross error. I don't think rehabilitation is like killing. I think sending someone to exile is like killing.Originally Posted by Dingy
That's a lot of what I meant. Sadly, there is an underlying principle of 'the might is right' in life.Originally Posted by Xaenn
Why do you say that other animals can't afford to then?Originally Posted by Dingy
I was referring to the present structure of life with human beings being at the apex of currently known life forms.Originally Posted by Xaenn

I noticed you spelled it wrong.
As long as you got the power and the pad, you'll get the womens.
Listen to the Mission
While I eat meat, I am also against animal cruelty. There's a BIG difference between quickly killing an animal for some useful purpose (such as food or to make clothing) and needlessly torturing some animal because you find it fun...
There is nothing quick about raising an animal from birth until its ready to be slaughtered. So then you have to ask yourself if its treatment has been humane during that period of time...Originally Posted by madcrow
Meh. See, this is what I was trying to say, humans do what the heck is convenient to them and thus, the treatment wouldn't really matter, the intention behind the treatment is what's more important. I mean if you're going to chop something's head off and then stuff some muck up it's ass and then roast it, you might as well be nice to it.Originally Posted by Xaenn
I think it makes all the difference. Not condoning killing the animals period but...You don't think there is a world of difference between killing someone, or torturing them for a long time and killing them afterwards?Originally Posted by Dingy
Besides last time I checked you weren't vegan...so you're just as guilty as the rest of us "convenient" humans.
No, I don't think there's a difference. The intention's the same. The method may be different.Originally Posted by Xaenn
I fail to see how you can suggest that treating someone nicely before killing them is better than killing them off straight away. Does the old crazy witch deserve a nobel prize for making Gretel fat before she wanted to eat her?
I know not the best to quote a fairy tale.
I said 'human beings'. Last time I checked, I was one. So yes, I'm guilty.; ]
It wasn't about being nice before they're slaughtered. It's about not torturing them. I think most people would agree that death is better treatment than torture.Originally Posted by Dingy
Note that I said I didn't condone the killing period, but torture is worse than killing - that's all.
