I'm a bit more sensitive to the whole slaughtering elephants and rhinoceros actually.

Define conscious. What if I say a turtle isn't conscious? Or a rat? Or a cat? Or an infant human? What are you going to use as a foundation for disagreeing with me, other than "they're larger, less annoying, and are easier for me to anthropomorphize"? Where are you going to draw the line? What criterion are you going to use to draw that line?

Ignore your post?

In all seriousness though, eating meat in North America is a religious experience, and will never change.

Also other animals are more important, and cool, literally, than war-making apes.


Eat apes.

Yeah other animals might be more important but what are they going to do about it, nothing, because they are stupid animals and exists only because we choose to let them.

I'd say African poachers deserve to be flayed and their villages burned to the ground wholesale without any verification of who is involved, but then I am a stupid animal :).

No, your a living breathing person with his own mind and opinions and I also disagree with burning african villages to the ground.

I'm just really mad about elephant killings, because they might be too stupid to defend themselves, but they certainly act like defeated human beings after the trauma.
