obviously humans need animals, but we dont need all animals

Actually we do,

An eco system is a delicate thing, one animal disappearing from it, even if it seems its insignificant, can have a massive affect.

But I think I've shared my opinion enough, I'm tired of this debate, I'd say just watch documentaries and maybe Inconvenient truth.

Actually here's a good point,

People may seem ants are pointless, but without them then a lot of dead animals wouldn't be eating.

Or Crocroaches, they are eating by birds and other animals and without them populations would fall elsewhere in the animal kingdom,

Everything has a chain reaction, if you swat one beer, a thousand flowers wouldn't be pollunated and wouldn't come back next year... now what if you killed all the bees? The Bee Movie made a comical point of this but it stands.

Everything has a purpose in this world.

But again, my belief, I'm done with this discussion and you can see animals any way you want, you do have free will after all and so do I

no human is equal to any one animal

That's your belief, and it's okay to believe that if you want.

I guess I just believe differently. We need animals to run our world and keep it alive. If it was only humans... we'd be nothing, we'd die out.

So even though animals may not be exactly equal to us, they do have the same importance in my opinion

i meant to say, no animal is equal to any one human but those two statements are essentially the same... i think

i dont understand why sticking up for animals is not possible for you people without trash talking the entire human race

Hey, I think humans are great, I am one. But I could not hurt an animal because in my family I was brought up to see them as equals.

If I was brought up in the wild I'm sure I wouldn't give a damn for animals and would kill one without another thought.

It's just the way I'm conditioned

as long as human slavery is still alive and well....who cares?

my position is that we should concentrate our efforts on human rights before we start worrying about animals

I'm for that too.

And sometimes I see people treat humans worse than how they'd treat animals.

It's through human rights that animal rights begin to grow.

But if you think there's so much animal rights going on then you really aren't looking at half of the world as animal are being starved to death in some countries for their fur, sharks getting their fins chopped up just for soup and being thrown back into the ocean just to die

  you're a fucking retard


 

 I'm entitled to my opinion, at least I don't degrate people to make a point


> "people have a detrimental superiority complex"

I wasn't degrating people when I said that.

That's just something we as humans are born with, and some people do have superioty complexes. I've met people that run over cats on the road, just because one cat when they were a child scratched them.

And that guy called me a retard for having an opinion, I never insulted anyone specifically and when I said the superioty complex, that was an opinion... I was only sticking up for animals

I'm for animal rights. We are animals ourselves, humans are no better than animals but we have this superiority complex which is detrimental.
i just dont understand this line of thinking. 'we are animals' 'we are the same'

   no we're not the same

   why must i equate myself to another animal? if i were an animal i wouldn't treat animals with dignity and i would subject them to abuse

   im a better animal than they are so i treat them humanely, whats wrong with being better than the other animals


   

  Because you aren't better than animals. Even though animals do follow instinct more than us that doesn't mean they don't think.    

  I've seen documentaries of animals doing things that are just unbelievably human and I've seen humans acting more animalistic at certain times too.    

  You should watch documentaries on animals, a mother's love is just as powerful in nearly all animals, apes can make tools for God sake.    

  And animals feel pain, jealousy and love just as much as people.    

  They do follow instincts but domesticated animals are so extremely human like, they learn like us, they feel like us.    

  They will never be exactly like us but maybe that just makes them better than us, at least they don't understand wrong and right the same as us, because when an animal commits wrong you can forgive it, but when a person commits wrong, you know they did it on purpose.    

  These are just my thoughts though, I hate some animals but I don't think I'm better than them, I'm just a different type of animal  


if it weren't for people like you i would never experience the urge to kick some puppies

 

 Why are you so sadistic?


as far as i know, urges are not sadistic unless you act on them

Can you explain to me your position on animal rights?
