Animals can't think or feel, they have no thoughts or emotions

They're no different then a blade of grass or a tree.

They are for food and work, that is all they are good for

Jaysonguy

Apart from being a first class c*nt of a post, its wrong.

Really?

You have a lot of conversations with your dog?

Love to spend countless hours on a farm asking a cow what it hoped to be growing up?

Maybe ask your hamster how it spends the holidays?

Animals are unthinking and unfeeling crates of meat, that is all

I don't even want to do the justice of conversing with you on this issue. I'd feel dirty.

Because we are higher on the food chain.

Literally, that's the only real reason and the only one we need.

bs if there was something higher on the food chain we would kill the fuсk out of it

.........

The ability to do that means we were STILL be highest on the food chain

Read the OP damnit. I wasn't talking about food here. I mean like if you just go out and shoot a dog for fun you will only get like some months in jail max but if you shoot a human you get many many years.

Half the people here clearly didn't read the op correctly. You clearly said you were not talking about food but the actual treatment of animals.

Think of it like Terminators. They were definitely higher on the evolutionary chain and we still killed them as best we could.

Well, I don't mind. Hamsters, dogs and cows unfortunately don't speak my language so no: I don't speak with them. But that doesn't mean that they don't have feelings. If they really had none they wouldn't have their own languages (mooing and barking are languages, believe it or not).

Profanity is, but calling someone a "flamer" is not. It is hate speech against the homosexuals.

Since you're the one asking the quesiton, why don't you provide me with a reason to believe a dog should be classified as a human. Note that in a lot of cultures people still eat dogs.

I didn't say we should classify dogs as humans, I'm saying it's roughly equally horrible to kill a dog as a human. If not worse.

If I ran over my dog with my car, I'd be sad. If I ran over a random human, I'd be devastated. Both of these assume that the subject dies.

Because we value human life more as we are humans. Humans have advanced brains and the ability to reason and think critically. So we put more value on that than say a chipmunk.

Because of evolutionarily developed mechanisms to further the species which consequently places a stronger emphasis of survival on its own. Likewise, I could run over a squirrel and not give a flying fuuck.

I assume that by animals you mean cute mammals like seals, cats, dogs and bunnies... Insects are animals too you know. Obviously we have to use speciesism and assign different values to different species for various reasons (the food chain is one), otherwise we should all be tried for genocide.

Because animals are less than humans, Humans are superior. Just-Breathe

Um, humans are animals. We share 99% of our genetic makup with chimps and 60% with freakin' fruit flies. Humans are just another evolutionary construct that is destined for extinction like 99% of the species that have ever inhabited the planet.
