Why are cats and dogs being classified as higher level animals?Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:
Take note of the word "love"Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Don't you think that is it too simplistic, naive to live life with such clear distinctions? If you say you love animals, then don't eat meat at all! Life is not clear cut like that. You can eat and still love animals. You can kill ants and still love animals...
You dont get my point.Originally posted by Artiwizoras:I take it that you are an insect lover and a pet hater?
dey attack my guinea pig for no reason.... so i burn them....Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Ants bite you becuz there are provoked.
Ants eat your food becuz they wan to live.
As for the next two. I already proved my point.
People only wan to protect cuter animals to decieve themself.
Frankly speaking humans dun only chose animals that areOriginally posted by Xephone_xenon:Why are cats and dogs being classified as higher level animals?
I said humans are selfish. I did not say that cats and dogs are selfish.
Its a obvious conclusion. With some many people coming up here telling me that ants looks like shit and killing them or not doesnt matter.
And i dont think that many would want to walk into a pet shop and buy a shitty looking dog. The would normally choose the cuter ones.
Generally humans buy pets such as dogs and cats just because they are cuter.
Young bird. You would know one day. Need some more milk ?Originally posted by gigabyte14:what's that got to do with the topic![]()
some people... even many people... but we are talking about animal welfare not just for pets are we? Even if the dog looks like a monster, people generally do not purposely hit it if it is on the road, do they? Almost all people will have compassion for a sick or injured dog on the roadside because they can see it suffering.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Why are cats and dogs being classified as higher level animals?

Okay take this for instance.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:some people... even many people... but we are talking about animal welfare not just for pets are we? Even if the dog looks like a monster, people generally do not purposely hit it if it is on the road, do they? Almost all people will have compassion for a sick or injured dog on the roadside because they can see it suffering.
many people will take the injured dog to the vet or call spca
This is called compassion... hahaha I have compassion for insects, like if I see an insect struggling in a pool of water, I will definitely try to save it if I can with a twig or something.
but if I do not I will not feel guilty... you do it not because you have to but because you want to.
plants, animals and so on... you love them because you want to not because you have to... try it, you will be a happier person.
Take note that "love" itself is a strong word.Originally posted by mystiv:anyway, in this case, it really is more of a matter of different definition of 'animal lover'..
to the TS, animal lover is strictly 100%, with no allowance for any sign of 'dislike' towards any animal..but for the others, the definition aint so strict..
well, few, if any, can really proclaim to be a 100% animal lover..lazy to elaborate![]()
Yes i am assuming.Originally posted by logistic:Its life cycle.... didnt u learn it in pri sch?
humans>cow>grass
predator & prey to have a balance to the ecosystem on earth.....
and this goes on..
back to wad you said abt pets... people do keep exotic animals as pets do they look cute? i doubt so... it all boils down to personal preference...
SO STOP ASSUMING....
because when u assume....
u make an ass out of u and me(or i would say forumites)
Go read up more before you make inferential statements. Go through numerous animal rescue websites, you will find all kinds of animals rescued. Lets talk about dogs here. Real deformed, crippled, 'unattractive' dogs are rescued, medicated and rehomed. Same goes for cute healthy dogs. I dare say the 1st group gets more attentionOriginally posted by Xephone_xenon:Okay take this for instance.
A bloody ugly dog, and a bloody cute dog injured and lying down at the road side.
I may not have the accurate statistic here.
But i am 100% positive that the ugly dog wont recieve as much attention compared to the cute dog.
Why? Again because the dog is more shitty looking. Or its either the majority are afarid of the dog.
Okay imagine a huge red ant on your neck. And you feel it crawling on it.
Whats the general reaction of many? You just slap the fcuk out of it?
Do you have to do that? Or rather its just because you want to?
You dont have to actually. A tiny bite wont kill you. But you slapping on the red ant will kill it.
So here do we have to kill the red ant? Its because we want to or rather we are used to.
We are educate in a way whereby ants arent important creatures and killing them does not matter.
But seriously that is true? Its just a standard being set by humans.
