I have yet to say the word cute. I've used the word intelligence alot. Cows and pigs are fucking retarded and if you can't realize that, then this arguement is over. For god sakes, cows can't even walk backwards. Pigs roll around and eat their own shit, they'll eat ANYTHING you put in front of them, it could be shards of glass and they'll attempt it. Monkeys throw shit, that's far from eating it. Monkeys just probably find that shit(pun intended) funny. Also not all monkeys do that, so don't generalize. I didn't put cats on the same level as humans. He remarked about people freaking out over a kitten and I said why.Originally Posted by Kaylia
And that spider was probably killing other bugs in your house, so way to go.
Brings up a question: Are you okay with people killing monkeys/apes/gorillas/primates in general? Probably eating them in some retarded culture that sees it as a delicasy? Just curious.

I'm starting to agree with you. You intelligence is indeed around the same level as most animal you are defending >_>

ps: Monkey brain is good.
Need me to link you to humans eating their own shit? Covering themselves in shit? Enjoying other people shitting on their faces/chests? Or do you realize how stupid you really are?Originally Posted by Kaylia

The "retarded" behavior you are talking about arent "retarded behavior" but perfectly normal animal behavior. Your definition of intelligence like I said is based on what you think is cute and when animal show affection for human being. Cute and cuddly... how else could you define intelligence .
Anyway, will you stop saying that pigs are fucking stupid? Because they're actually pretty damn intelligent, regardless of what you think about their eating habbits. They're better than dogs at tracking stuff down and smelling out drugs, but they aren't used as much due to the fact that they're harder to train because they're more independent than dogs (and let's face it...are you going to bring a pig to school or a dog to show off your prowess at detecting drugs?). Pigs are used in France to find truffles because their sense of smell is so much better than dogs it's not even funny.
Now to the crux of the matter. Dolphins are for the most part, endangered. If not for the Japanese, they would be perfectly fine. THAT'S why they shouldn't be hunted. No one needs to eat dolphin to survive, hell, it's probably not even that tasty, or at least not tasty enough to justify what they do to them. Cows and pigs and chickens are in plentiful supply, so that's why I shed no tears for them. Plus due to PETA, they're killed as painlessly as possible where as the Japanese seem to go out of their way to inflict torture on the dolphins. Plus they're pretty damn shady hunting them...I saw a picture in Maxim where they had used sonar to confuse a school of dolphins into a small fijord and closed it down and just started butchering them. The water was basically blood it was that bad. It's like veal...I don't eat veal because of the torture they inflict on the poor things. It's one thing to kill a calf and eat it, I've got no problems with that. It's an entirely different thing to strap it down over wooden slats to keep it from moving and developing muscle, deprive it of iron to keep the meat white, and force feed it for months to fatten it up and then slaughter it.
There are multiple species of dolphin. I haven't checked lately, but I would assume not all of them are endangered.
Animal intelligence can be measure by various means, although that's subjective. In any event, I don't think (opinion inc) that a more intelligent animal "deserves" to be left alone while a less intelligent animal "deserves" to be raised or hunted. Personally I don't have a problem with people hunting and eating dolphins or dogs, but I understand that many people do have a problem with it. Therefore, doing so will cause controversy, such as that in this thread.
That being said, basing the distinction between a huntable animal and a non-huntable animal on intelligence is a bit infeasable simply because measuring intelligence is so subjective. A cow can't walk backwards, a dolphin can't swim backwards, pigs aren't averse to their own excrement, and none of these are particularly indicitave of a lack of intelligence.
Basing the distinction on cuteness, as I said before, is less problematic simply because what we (in my opinion) are trying to avoid is offending the sensibilities of the majority.
Animals are serious business.
i dont care how you reply to anyway's last comment, its still pure fucking winOriginally Posted by Kaylia
Except his argument completly missed the point he was trying to prove (that dolphin and kitten deserve to live, but it's okay to kill a pig).Originally Posted by Zalius
Jesus christ, learn how to read. I never once said the kitten deserved to live. I said it was was horrible HOW it died, you ignorant fuck.Originally Posted by Kaylia

It's not okay to eat a monkey for some reasons and if they play with their shit, it's only because it entertain them (not really, but you say so). Btw, certains monkey species eat other monkey species
It's not okay to kill dolphin because it's cruel and they are as intelligent as human (not really).
Kitten brutally murdered for no reason bother you more than probably a lot of thing that happen to human.
My reply about animals eating their feces wasn't to show you how "retarded" animals are, like you seem to think. It's to show you it has nothing to do with intelligence. Hell, a 1 year old baby would probably play with its shit if he had the chance to, and he isn't retarded for sure. Pigs roll themselves in the mud for the same reason most animals do, to protect themselves against bugs, sun or other stuff. I dont see why we should eat them more than dolphin cause of that? If you are fine with killing pig, than you should be fine with eating dolphin
I'm not preaching that violence is okay, hell, most people who torture animal for no reason probably deserve to have their ass kicked. However, when it come to hunting, thing are different. It has to be efficient, and our method arent really worse than the one employed by our ancestor (or when an animal kill another). If those dolphins are in danger like edgarfigaro said, than yeah, it's stupid to hunt them. We have to be careful not to fuck up the ecosystem too badly.
Your logic in this thread doesn't work. You want to put human on the same ground as other species, yet, you don't put every species on the same ground.
You may see this as survival of the fittest, which I do believe in, such as my opinion on cows, but you have to realize humans have gone beyond and have abused survival of the fittest. There's a fine line between killing for food to live and killing for the hell of it or killing because "you can" and just to say "I ate dolphin once". I could see if dolphin meat was used in the majority of meals, like cow meat is, but this is faaaaaaaaar from the case.
Monkeys, who some can learn sign language and communicate with us, you find okay to eat, is beyond my understanding.
Saying that watching a kitten get its eyes popped out by some bitch's high heels does not bother you, is baffling. You must either be 1 BADASS MOTHERFUCKA(highly highly doubtful), immune to it from watching it so much(probable and sad that you'd watch that kind of shit), lying and passing it off as nothing because it goes against your previous arguments(extremely probable.)
Which is it?
A lot of people are now desensitized to things like this, such as myself.Originally Posted by Anyway
Seriously, it makes things so much easier.

And no, I wouldn't eat chimp or most "big" monkey. I won't cry if one is hunted, but considering how small is their population, there is no reason to.
The kitten movie bother me, I never said it does not (I'm not sure why you say that). What I'm saying is that violence against human will bother me way more than that. I don't see what's the big deal with this, when there is hundred of people who die every day from violence. The video in the first post doesn't bother me at all because it's hunting, and has to be done.
ok im prolly gonna get fllamed.. i dun care
I think i see what anyway is trying to say here
In theory humans have evolved beyond the need to go out and kill certain animals especially brutally like what is shown in this video, In theory most modern people have compassion for animals, and when they see this type of shit they get pissed off or upset cause its brutal and wrong because THATS WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT. Especially in america, especially in public schools, we are taught this type of shit is wrong, we are taught that going out and brutally murdering anything like this is wrong, we are taugh humanity and compassion, and thats what we become accustomed too... now i dont know about japan, and what they are taught over there but, i cannot see this EVER happening in america, and if it did... shit would hit the fan real fast, japan isnt a 3rd world country at all, no where near (you're welcome), so we expect that they behave like we do, we expect not to see cruel shit like this out of a country that rivals our own in power or surpasses in somecaes. (education)
whats trying to be said here, is that most people think that we are BEYOND mindless killing, we are BEYOND having to need everything, we are BEYOND brutal senseless butcher like this this, i dunno most of us think we dont need to do this to survive anymore, cows and pigs and chickens etc are raised specifically for the purpose of being killed to eat, if you raised doplphins to kill and eat maybe it would be seen differently, if you raised monkeys to kill and eat, there wouldnt be a problem and it would be accepted, brutally killing an innocent creature in the wild like this is uncalled for and unwelcome when 90% of the world is beyond this no one NEEDS to hunt anymore in most first world countries, no one needs to go brutallly kill a dolphin to survive, saying its ok because they can do it... thats going against what most people beleive in, maybe thats what you are trying to do here? be the instigator just to cause an arguement? idk its 3am and im rambling and this prolly makes very little sense but ill try to fix it sometime -.-
Holy shit just stop talking. You're not helping anything.Originally Posted by Anyway
I'm sorry... I couldnt continue to read this after the first page of the thread because I was laughing so hard. I'll just say this though, if you think humans are on the same plane as animals, you're downright retarded... Equals? Not even close. Really sad what young people believe these days... all emo I'm guessing.
