Animals are not killed "just as humans are", not even remotely. They are for oil as in Iraq. And what in your room or office does not depend on oil? War is not the archetype for human moral behaviour, in fact human morals are essentially set aside when we wage war. That is why this is a false analogy, we are not at war with animals. Nonsense. War is as much human behaviour as peace No, angie girl. What is it if it's not human behaviour? The valid analogy in this case is human labour laws and the endangerment of the public, especially workers. This is strongly mitigated against in the case of humans, no such mitigation is contemplated nor even plausible in the case of animals. All part of human behaviour. Not the same, angie girl. You know it, too. Why is it not part of human behaviour? It is qualitatively different from the collateral and deliberate deaths of animals in agriculture, angie girl. The charge of gross hypocrisy against you stands, unanswered. You *can't* answer it. Not at all Yes, at all, angie girl; you can't answer it. for the reasons given. You haven't given any reasons, angie girl. All you've given is evasion and snarky, sophomoric sarcasm. Animals are killed systematically, deliberately and in great numbers with very little effort to mitigate their suffering, except in the case of livestock. Human deaths are rare by comparison, and great efforts are taken to avoid them. Yes, we could save some animals from being killed, but there's no particular reason why we should choose to save the ones we use for food and other useful products. Lets have some specifics in detail. A single pass of farm machinery through a field decimates the population of field mice, toads, lizards, or whatever has taken up residence there. Then there are pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers to finish the job. Absolutely. But if we didn't eat produce from the land we'd not survive. Oh, really? So, your "survival" depends on abrogating, daily, the "rights" you claim animals hold or "ought" to hold. Every animal has a right to survive and that includes humans. So it follows that we have a right to kill for food but killing for aimless reasons such as fun and enjoyment and fake conservation is wrong. You have no coherent explanation for where you draw the line, angie girl. The fact is, angie girl, that *your* food's production causes animals needlessly to be slaughtered. You *could* avoid it, angie girl, but you're a lazy **** who can't be bothered to do anything concrete to avoid the needless death of animals. No, angie girl. You do not "need" to eat a single speck of commercially raised produce. You could, if you weren't such a lazy little bitch, get out and grow all your own using methods that did not systematically slaughter animals. But I don't oppose farming. You claim to support animal "rights", and if an animal doesn't have a "right" not to be needlessly, indiscriminately and systematically chopped to bits, angie girl, then it has no rights at all. You are being deliberately obtuse, angie girl. But no - you choose, because you're a lazy little bitch addicted to ease and convenience, to gobble down the blood-drenched produce, all the while blabbering away sanctimoniously and hypocritically about how you "respect" the "rights" of animals. It's a lie - you do not "respect" any rights. See above. You wrote self-serving, mushy bullshit above, angie girl. You are caught in a web of lies and hypocrisy, and you aren't even making a serious attempt to get out of it. So, as I have said, we all kill wildlife in our daily lives. But YOU do it entirely needlessly, angie girl. No. Yes, angie girl, you do. You're contradicting yourself above. In what way? Read what you wrote. Evasion noted. You're a laugh riot, angie girl. He didn't contradict himself. You're as daft as he is. Wrong, and not a rebuttal. He didn't contradict himself. So we all kill animals and humans and that's why your argument is crap. That is a lame response. Not at all; it's fact. The argument has no merit at all. Animals being killed is part of everyday life, the process of feeding and clothing ourselves, it is not analagous to war which is the very antithesis of everyday life. Very much analogous. Not "analogous" in the least, angie girl. Your claim is empty; it's bullshit. Why? See my earlier replies. |
