Why doesnt man kill all meat eating wild animals??

Apparantly man cares so much about animals, I dont understand why doesnt it kill all lions, wild dogs, tigers etc who kill other animals so brutally and mercilessly???

I mean I was watching some hyenas eating a deer alive and they were ripping flesh while it was alive.:?

Now all those people who get all so sensitive about animal creulty, why da **** do you not have a problem with that?:roll:

Why should mankind give a damn about species who only give pain and torture to others????

i think we our every species on thisearth is in danger because of us

i guess we have a big enough brain compared to other animals to show compassion

worst train of thought ever!

although it is obviously some attempt to be funny/clever:| but it just fails

Because animals killing other animals is simply nature. Horrific cruelty inflicted upon poor, innocent, helpless creatures is exclusively a human endeavor, unfortunately.peicher

There is a difference between killing a prey to survive and crushing a dog in a garbage truck while it is still alive. Sorry.Tezcatlipoca666

Oh God I am trully disappointed at the intelect of OT today.

people care more about a cute puppy dying than a hog in the african plains or anything like that.montieman

Well, of course, dogs are cute, hogs are not.

if hogs want our attention, they should stop being gross. :roll::P

Quick deaths? Gas chambers that take up to 20 minutes...that's quick and merciful? Smashing dogs to death in the back of a garbage truck? That's about as horrific as it gets.

If the animal is left homeless to be starved I guess it will die a less painful death.:roll:

Killing an animal for sustenance is far different than pouring lighter fluid on it, then striking a flame to it and laughing while it burns to death.foxhound_fox

And I am not even saying that we should kill all meat eating wild animals, the point is basically that over-sensitive people about animal cruelty really need to stop kidding themselves..

Why take it to the extreme, I never said that it is OK to do that with an animal just for fun.

Anyway to answer your question I will say that mother nature is a cruel mistress. This isn't some garden of Eden bull**** where dinosaurs and lions and cattle live together in harmony and are vegetarian, this is ****ing reality. Animals eat each other to survive and we're no different in that respect.

We are different in one respect though and that is that we have something that Daniel Dennet calls second order intentionality and that means that we are capable of holding beliefs about the mental states of other organisms. If an animal is in pain then it certainly knows about it, that's first order intentionality. But to know that someone else is in pain, to be sympathetic towards another person's mental state, requires higher brain function that seems to be present only in humans. When a pack of hyenas feast on a deer they are simply not aware of the pain that they are causing and as a result we cannot expect them to have mercy. Humans however are held to a higher standard then that hence why we call painfully killing an animal "inhumane".

Don't expect non-human animals to act with humanity.

The idea to kill off every predator is, to be blunt, an extremely bad one. It would **** up the ecosystem to no end not to mention that causing extinction of species is another thing that is generally agreed upon to be "inhumane" Stranger how old are you?

The prey animals would be allowed to multiply endlessly, destroying their environments and completely destabilizing the ecosystem? Perhaps ultimately leading to the end of all life on earth?

ThePlothole

Killing off all carnivorous animals would disrupt the delicate balance of life within the ecosystem. With no predators, there will be a large influx of herbavors that'll eat every last plant out there. This would cause drought within the region and less cleansed air, causing millions of deaths for both humans and said animals alike.

If you had the decision to bash someone to death with a stick, compared to shooting them once in the head. What would you choose? The same applies to animals, if you had the decision to kill 20 dogs with 20 quick and painless syringes, or to dump them onto a truck to escort them to a factory which has a gas chamber so they can be killed over a period of 20 minutes. What would you choose? Of course money and time would be a huge factor in my second question, but if you had a choice you would obviously choose the painless death unless you happen to be sick in the head. Now the difference between a wild animal eating another animal alive to survive, and a dog being killed over a period of 20 minutes is that the dog's death "could" done painlessly. But you seem to think that it's wrong for people to hope that there is another way for that dog to die, and that you should not care for it unless you contribute directly. Why? I'm more or less asking this after the comments you said on that other topic with the animal cruelty video; basically saying that you laugh at people who think that it's wrong for animals to have no hope but to die with great pain because it's easier.Faber_Fighter

And I think that video said that the drug is in short supply and it seemed like it's needed for some human medicine as well..

Uhhh no.... they kill for food. They don't just run around ripping dear apart.

So what else should man do about those animals? If it cant afford to kepp them alive then what can it do? And heck what horrific cruelty, they are being given quick deaths!!Stranger_4
