    Speaking of Canada, let's not forget the hundreds of thousands of baby seals that are bludgeoned to death every year.

    Halv?

    Humans for animal liberation and vegitarianism?

    Is that how it goes?

    My grandmother lived on a farm in Ireland and she grew up with cows, chickens, and pigs. Anytime someone starts up about animal rights, she's quick to inform them that chickens and cows are some of the stupidest animals in the Effing world.

    Like, you could set up a tiny ass fence and a cow won't even bother to try to jump over it, even though it could if it wanted to.

    Chickens are so "advanced" that when you chop their heads off, their bodies go running around without the head. Primitive.

    The point is: no you shouldn't wantonly and viciously kill animals and cause them pain on purpose. But, animals are fucking stupid. That's why they're animals and we're humans. We run the show and we can eat them.

    Animals have no rights except that which common decency procures for them.

    Your point isn't valid for the fact that there are also many humans with low iq's. How about mentally handicapped humans. People with brain damage. Babies. Should the rest of us "superior" humans be able to torture and kill them as well just because we are more intelligent? Of course not. It's just not a well thought out argument.

    That's not true at all.

    The least intelligent human being in the world is of greater value than any animal.

    I'm amazed that I had to say that.

    Human beings have inherent value because we are human.

    no, someone has to fix my toilet, wash my car, and press my suits...these are the reasons that unintelligent and mentally impaired (do we really have to be PC?) are useful to our society...when automation of those menial services can be done, then i will be a staunch supporter of ritual killings of the unintelligent and mentally impaired to stock the freezers of the kings and princes of the world. and, even then, i will continue to eat beef, poultry, pork, venison, bear, groundhog, squirrel, snake, bison, fish, etc. etc. etc.

    Do chickens actually shiver?

    I spent a fair amount of time a couple of farms, I've never seen a chicken shiver in the cold. Actually, I've never seen a chicken have emotions either.

    Yes, we are of greater nature than chickens, cows, or other animals.

    But that doesn't give us an excuse to inhumanely torture them.

    You people who don't care about this sort of thing make me sick. These are living beings we're talking about.

    Kudos to the thread starter for at least trying to improve another living thing's quality of life.
