A real opinion

I can't speak for anyone else but I treat animals like I treat sped people. I wouldn't eat a retard just because they're not as smart as me and poo poo wherever they want, why should a cow be any different?

Someone said they don't care about the treatment of animals and their morals only apply to humans (a pretty dumb opinion) so she said

People like you kind of scare me because I'm waiting for the day you decide to slaughter the homeless or autistic people or something.

Homeless people and autistic people = animals

it's incredibly pointless to have any discussion about animals or animal rights on SA. it tends to attract people who either don't get why people would value other life or people who make the above dumb connection between women and babies

yeah when I was a kid I read some book about animal rights that was all 'ZOOS ARE TERRIBLE, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE SYMPTOMS OF BORED OR UNHAPPY ANIMALS IN ZOOS' and I got really sad cos my local zoo was one of my favourite places to go in my summer holidays and the animals always seemed happy?
then I found out it's one of the best conservation zoos so it's OK for me to like it! :buddy:
although last month their wolves escaped somehow and they had to shoot a bunch of them, that family's lived there for like 30 years :(

Hey, girl.
my home-town has a cool zoo with biodomes where small animals can roam free in a climate-controlled version of their own habitat. They have a desert one, a jungle one, and one that is a bunch of gigantor aquaria. It is the only zoo that doesn't make me sad.

Once Blackfish hit Netflix my facebook turned into a mob of people calling for the immediate release of all orcas and other sea creatures. What the gently caress do you think is going to happen when you take an animal that has spent its whole life in a tank being handfed and put it in the ocean? Do people think the instincts will just switch on?

People literally think that because in reality they have no respect for animal intelligence or the notion animals must be taught. They're bad biologists, and it leads them to morally unsound notions.

I generally agree with him but I agree with him in the opposite bad way.

"Pigs are as intelligent as toddlers. We eat pigs."

There are two potential logical moral conclusions there.

If we knew their language and syntax.

We know that they have proper nouns and suchlike, we just can't parse how they string things together. Similarly, chimpanzees can use human words (on keyboards even) but they can't grasp human syntax.
