You are wrong. But that's for one of your other threads.
Then speak up! The other thread doesn't bite
I suspect from the tone of your post, we can expect much the same from you in that regard.
If someone did that to my dog, they would be begging me for death right now.
Human > animals.
Simple.
Find me an animal that can communicate with me as a human can, I'll change my tune immediately.
Find me an animal that I can empathize with as I can with a human, I'll change my tune immediately.
That we as humans like to see human traits in all other creatures doesn't make it so.
That someone might prefer their pet over a complete stranger doesn't mean that all animals should be considered equal to or greater than all humans.
We all have standards by which we judge the value of life. ALL of us. And none of us treat all life equally, unless it is treating all life with equal indifference.
Humanity is nowhere near a point of treating animal life as equal to human life, and I'm fine with that.
Killing an animal is not murder. It being murder is not required to think this sentence was too small, either.
With all due respect, fuck you.
You aren't aware of a mother bashing her child to death and family services missing it?
You aren't aware of a young man demanding money of a mother shooting her in the leg and counting to five before he blew her baby's face off killing him?
You aren't aware of young men "bored" out of their minds blowing away a young man who was jogging?
Piss on that part of the human race my friend.
I'd rather hug a burmese python because they are on a greater level of caring than any of those I listed above.

WTF does that have to do with what I said?
This overly emotional bullshit is why I find these types of conversations so laughable.
Give me examples of the worst of humanity and use that as an argument for why humanity is no good? Ok, why don't I show you articles about various types of animals doing cruel and terrible shit and we can use that as the basis for how we treat all animals, sound fair?
How does holding humanity above animals in any way defend or endorse murder?
Besides, animals murder without a second thought.
Or how's this? From reading this thread, it seems as though some people would be more likely to save a dog from a fire than an infant. Piss on that part of the human race.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that python doesn't care in the slightest about you or anyone else. It's likely incapable of such caring. But feel free to anthropomorphize some more animals, if you think it strengthens your point.![]()

This was a very specific statement.
I'd rather hug a burmese python because they are on a greater level of caring than any of those I listed above.
I proved your point in advance.
Those that were killers were truly incapable of caring and I would rather hug a burmese python as compared to the cold blooded killers who sadistically killed versus a ball who only kills to feed.
And piss on that part of the human race that is that vile.
Not less, equal. Why is there a problem with, interfere with some sort of complex that you have that makes you need to view yourself as "above" something?

If humans are equal to animals, would you be ok with people being raised as food?![]()
I have no problem with hikers and campers being eaten by bears. You go into their domain, you accept the risks. Does that answer your question?
I am a hypocrite. While I am against animal abuse, I support the killing of animals by buying and eating animals. I also use products made with the remains of the dead animals. Thus, I benefit from the abuse of animals.
I do believe that the slaughter of animals used for human consumption is performed in a more humane manner than the demise of the dog with flames. However, there are limits to how humane the killing of an animal can be.
I can live with being a hypocrite because animals are so tasty, and because many animals would make a meal of me if they had the power to do so.

So I take it you are a vegetarian, which can be a fairly healthy way to live. How do you feel when animals kill animals?
If you do not, would you have a problem with humans raising humans to serve as food?

Humans have choices. Animals do not.
If you do not, would you have a problem with humans raising humans to serve as food?
Off topic and silly.
As for the other idiotic questions veg's get asked ...
Tomatoes don't cry.
I get my protein from the same place you do.
Oh yeah, and no - animals are not equal to humans in some ways but are equal in others. They can't write sonnets but mammals have the same physical feelings we do as well as SOME emotional feelings.
There are three reasons to be vegetarian:
Environmental - our meat eating habit is killing our planet.
Ethical - you don't want to actively support the cruelty and environmental damage.
Selfish - you don't want heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and you sure as hell don't want to saddle your kids with those diseases.
Have a nice day, y'all.

Assuming the killers you mention were all incapable of caring (not a requirement to become a killer, but possible) that still wouldn't make the python more capable of caring. It would put them on the same level as far as caring goes; none of them would be capable of caring.
Nothing wrong with despising those killers. I just don't see how that leads to deciding humanity is less than animals.

Depends, what is killing what? Are talking lions killing wildebeest or feral cats killing native species?
