PETA Sues SeaWorld Over "Enslavement" of Killer Whales

more like lard chopper :wink:

I just drew the connection with the word for a small sword often used by pirates in tales.

I care about animals, but I donā€™t see why you wouldnā€™t put humans first. Just care about both.

I mean the members of PETA are human for god sakes. Itā€™s not like thereā€™s some dog with a human brain running it.
[COLOR=ā€˜Blackā€™]Or is there? Dun dun dunnnn

Nah, they are humans with dogā€™s brains running them.

PETA is the greatest thing to ever exist. Know why?

Shitty parody games.

Iā€™m a fucking hippie.

I just adopted a snowy owl for WWF (which basically means that I just wasted $50 on getting a snowy owl plush and a certificate that states that I gave $50 to help preserve the natural habitat of the snowy owl (though I think the money actually just goes to global preservation of any species, but hey)).

It was either that or waste the money on feeding a family of lazy-ass Africans (or keep the money, but I was feeling generous today, so had to give it to something, so figured I should give it to something that matters).

The human brain does nothing else, btw.

Not really. The robots clean houses, while animals eat, sleep, pee, shit and reproduce.

Great logic. So because a thousand years ago people needed to eat meat to get over the winter, and today we donā€™t, we have to do what exactly? Keep eating meat? Becauseā€¦?

facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalmā€¦

We ARE animals. Mammals, to be precise. Do you happen to live in the Bible Belt?

When has euthanizing ever been murder? Also: death is the end of all suffering. It is an act of mercy to end a life that is only going to bring more pain, and not malice.

this. a thousand fucking times this.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the PETA ad was right. Whips and chains belong nowhere else outside a bedroom these days. I wonder why you bother being concerned with PETA of all organizations to exploit feminine beauty for their ads. Surely you must have noticed that they are not the only ones? Ever walked by a magazine stand recently?

What gives them the right to cut short the life of a healthy animal who could look forward to a good few years of doing whatever the fuck it wants.

If the animal was dying of something or whatever or in pain. Ok yeah, do it.

Because they do both of those. And to be honest that makes me put them on the same level as those who abuse the animals.

No. We apply logic. When you see people thinking things through, that ainā€™t instinct bro.

That one was a joke, are you retarded or something.

See, weā€™re animals. Yes. But you see we also have SENTIENCE. Which is a real cool thing that letā€™s us THINK LOGICALLY. Being of superious intelligence to ā€˜animalsā€™(see the quotation marks there, yeah those are invisible on everyone elses post(Iā€™m just putting them here because youā€™re stupid or something)) we should then use said intelligence to protect those who cannot protect themselves. You know, like we do among ourselves. Thereā€™s no reason for PETA to put down healthy animals yet they do it anyway. Because theyā€™re terrible people.

Because thatā€™s the way the world works. We eat meat because weā€™re made to. Weā€™re made to want to. Itā€™s something we want out of instinct. Thousands of years of survival based around hunting and killing animals has kind of imprinted it into us. Sure we can technically manufacture meat, but thereā€™s no infrastructure for it.
And honestly itā€™s hella quicker and easier to kill animals to eat them. You know. Like weā€™re supposed to.

I donā€™t think you understand that he was making a joke.

TL;DR Danson is retarded.

First, define sentience and then show you know others have it without speaking to them.

my definition of sentience is the use of logical and complex thought to make decisions.
I know that the person across the street is sentient even though Iā€™ve not talked to them because I know they exist and I know they are human.

I know my cat isnā€™t sentient because she insists on peeing on my floor even though thereā€™s perfectly good locations both outside, and in her litter tray. Also the fact that she canā€™t deduct how to open things sheā€™s perfectly capable of opening.

But what if I were to show animals that had problem solving intelligence?

Also, peeing on the floor instead of outside might be a way of communicating to you that something is wrong but youā€™re unable to understand what is being said. I would suggest a vet visit if it becomes too much of a problem. It might be an illness.

Also, youā€™re perfectly capable of assembling a 747 all by yourself. You just donā€™t know how. That doesnā€™t remove your sentience; it just says that you donā€™t know how to do it.

Human beings have a fifth faculty: the intelligence to inquire into the truth of our existence.

Why is everyone so sure weā€™re the only ones with that faculty? Whenā€™s the last time you were a whale and now have the authority to speak for em? Why does everyone seem to think thatā€™s the special thing that got us where we are? Itā€™s communication. Even thatā€™s not exclusive to us. Sure, our communication is well honed for more specific things, and weā€™ve invented plenty of concepts (time, money) to sustain our own lives using communication. Fuck, even thatā€™s not special. Weā€™ve got our marvels in architecture, they have their nests. I know thereā€™s gonna be tons of arguments against this saying ā€œbut da bildinks are da mor advansā€, but itā€™s all the same. We (more than likely) do what we do for all the same reasons they do what they do.

Fuck, the above reason is exactly why I canā€™t stand p.e.t.a. No one has the power to speak for those who canā€™t speak for themselves (in any way we can understand). Unless they develop universal fucking translators, they will never have any importance or relevance.

Thereā€™s something wrong with your cat, man. Seriously, an abnormal cat is no basis for that argument.

actually no. If you leave someone alone with the materials necessary to build a 747. You could do it, through logical thinking and trial and error. Itā€™d take a fucklong time but you could.

Wow, how could you possibly be this retarded.

Collision. Calling other people retarded while at the same time thinking that men were made to eat meat. Priceless. Research some biology. While you are at it, put some effort into finding a better rhetoric than insulting other peopleā€™s intelligence when you run out of arguments.

If we werenā€™t supposed to eat animals, then how come they are made out of food?

men were made to eat whatever they want that doesnā€™t kill them

So are you saying youā€™re vegetarian?

That would explain the lack of protein your brain clearly has which results in your utter stupidity.
