It is very sad. My sister is a veagan because she loves animals so much and she always show us stories like this and it really sucks. Seriously, why do places like this do these kind of things. I have heard stories that the way they kill cows to get meat is they whip them to death, basically torture them till they die, it makes me sick. I wish people didn't think this way and would see that animals are just as important as humans.

Many people will oppose this statement. I oppose it logically, but not emotionally. I wish I could think and treat animals as equals, but humans are the more advanced and intelligent. Because of this, we have the urge to continue our own survival, this includes eating animals or testing on them.
Not everyone sees life the same way and years of being superior, makes many people too callous. There is a grey line that exists, but because we are not animals, it's hard to see when we pass it, but easy to see the extremes.

They actually don't torture the animal for the meat, it's really quick, my Agriculture teacher told me that, they just shock them and then kill them or something like that.
And BTW, humans are classified in the animal kingdom, so technically, we are animals, so wii8461, you basically said you didn't care for the human race.

Well I heard some places do, they have been cracking down on placing like KFC that kill animals the wrong way. KFC, I think, has stopped doing that but I know they did before. And how did I say I don't care for the human race? When I say animals, I don't include humans, because a lot of times humans aren't considered animals in general (maybe in science but seriously, humans generally are not referred to as animals most of the time.)

A=Animals

[HaoSenVastForest]

OH NOES! IZ WEARING A TUNOOKIE SUIT! DONT TELL PETA!

Also I think it that there is nothing wrong with eating meat because tigers do it! Lions do it! Why cant we?

[Sage]

Partial reason to why a have small time misanthropy, I just don't undrstand why people have to do this. I guess some people feel so weak and inferior they decide to beat animals because it makes them feel bigger about themselves, despicable.

[HaoSenVastForest]

Well all things die right? Well I say let the animal die with purpose for us to live. Just my personal opinion.

[Sage]

There is a difference between killing it to protect yourself and to surive and killing it becuase you just happen to feel like it or your own or just to make your self feel better. We have to survive bye eating yes and I do love my meat, just don't torture the animal let it's death be dignified and painless.

Well there is a law that all animals when slaughtered they must be unconscious at the time killed.

O.O whoa! I actually didnt mean do repeat myself so sorry. I dont know why it did that. Oh well

[Elric]

Oh geez. Don't even get me started on animal rights, because they don't have any rights but the right to be treated fairly which is considered animal welfare.

Purple Link, I am pretty sure in other countries they eat dogs. To get the most nuitriance from the dog they brutally torture it to get the nuitriance in the meat of the dog.

Animal testing is necessary, even if they do use "inhumane" procedures. Pretty sure the rabbit population is not going to go extinct. It is definitely better than testing on humans. We have to ask ourselves these kind questions:

"What is the line between animals and man concerning their privelages?"

Also, I think we should worry about humanity before focusing on animals. Not saying animals are un important i'm saying that we should set our priorities. Without prioritie we lose focus on what is most important: humanity. We need to address human massecre before animal massecre, as well as human abuse before we focus on animal abuse.

Well, that's just part of my thought. But I have limited time.

We were made smarter than animals and are more important, so you can't put meat into this conversation. Abuse is just wrong for every organism besides Bacteria, germs, etc.

Have you never had lag/RESPONDAMNIT moments?

I'm not going to bother with the first part of your statement, but the second and third. Meat is a large part of this conversation, as most humans eat meat and animal deaths are necessary for that. Abuse isn't necessary for meat, but it is used as a common method in obtaining meat.
You can't contradict yourself with making abuse okay with micro-organisms. If it is okay for micro-organisms, without reasoning, then I could easily use your logic to say that it would be fine for a race of galaxy sized beings to abuse us. You need to back up your statements or they can be twisted. Did you know a large portion of these micro-organisms actually help us? Right now, there are only two known samples of smallpox that exist and there is still a raging debate about whether to let them live or die.

[Soul]

I put the wrong word if it's for a scientific reason I think it will be okay to kill them. Sorry, I put abuse, I meant harm. When they abuse animals for meat like KFC that is wrong. But this topic isn't about abuse for meat. I meant HARM not abuse.
