Random ramblings: Thanks to my health issues I have not been able to keep up with the rest of you so I shall briefly summarise as follows: For a start the title of this debate is utterly meaningless, one might as well ask if you believe animals are equal to okapis? Fishfreak. If the guy throwing up on me in my house was a home invader I would have no compunction about killing him, indeed I would consider myself to have done society a favour. Fragillimus335. No one is saying that they "would pick up a gun, and blow a little girl's brains out to save a pod of dolphins". Don't twist other people's words in order to score points, it's dishonest to say the least. Wild Dog. I would not kill the decent family man under any circumstances. Fishfreak. If said person was Sadistic Sarah Palin, Michael Vick, George W(anker) Bush, Ken Salazar, either of the Cock brothers or anyone else of similar persuasion, definitely yes, I'll take the invertebrates every time. Brolyeuphyfusion. "Vermln" is a highly loaded and pejorative term without meaning. Fragillimus335. If this forum is for people who like animals then WTF are you doing here? Aside to Asaurus. You have me totally confused, are you (like me) bipolar? Or twins perhaps? |

Why are so many of these people human supremists? I don't know why caring for other lifeforms is unnatural. If it was up to me, I'd eliminate half the entire human population just to even out all the animals we made extinct. If someone killed a Wasp near me I would personally dance on their graves. |

The whole premise of this thread is silly. The idea that people are treating animals in general better than other humans is absurd. Cruelty and persecution of animals is widespread. For example, as far as I know no government policies call for "harvesting" 30%-50% of human populations and say do not worry cause the population will not go extinct. Also, the idea that people should let animals suffer cause people need help is ridiculous. Different things motivate different people and if someone wants to spend their time and money doing good then that should be encouraged. Its not like if they didn't help animals they would help other people. Most likely they would just watch TV or do whatever they normally do. Most people who do good for animals are generally much more compassionate to other people than the average person in my experience. On the other hand, people who persecute or commit cruelty to animals tend to be less caring for other people. For example, serial killers often start torturing animals and most hunters (especially predator hunters) tend to be pretty opposed to helping poor and downtrodden people. Obviously, there are exceptions to these rules. That being said, I'm not opposed to hunting of prey species since most modern ecosystems evolved with humans hunting. However, amounts taken should not be excessive and be roughly equivalent to what early humans took with limited technology. Still, I do think a lot of modern hunting techniques, such as advanced weapon technology, baiting, calling, etc., are unsporting and should be banned. Edited by Red Dog, Dec 13 2012, 03:14 AM.

Reddhole, all I want to know is if you believe animals should be treated the way we treat humans. Edited by Ausar, Dec 13 2012, 05:44 AM.

My view is that, I would mostly value a human over an animal, but in some circumstances it would be the other way around. Edited by Ausar, Dec 13 2012, 05:36 AM.

In this day and age there is no reason to hunt soley for fur, we have other methods to keep ourselves warm. That said, if you're hunting for meat I see no harm in utilizing the hides for clothes or blankets. |
