so, thinking about Speciesism, and i think it's very easily self-defeated. I usually don't take such a strong position right away on issues, but i'm not seeing any logic behind it.
they complain that humans shouldn't kill/eat/abuse animals because it's being predujice based on species.
so why not stop lions from killing gazelles? Why is it ok for animals to eat other animals?
I certainly don't think that lions will learn by our example. It's nature. And to think that we, as a species, should not eat other animals because we have the mind to think that it is wrong, is speciesism itself.

Re: eat me. (Score: 1) by Zotz on Monday, January 08, 2007 @ 20:16:11 EST (User Info | Send a Message) | You're right. I doubt the lion will learn from our example. Learning how to drive a truck, drive to the grocery store, visiting the meat department and picking his selection.
Maybe instead you should start following the lions lead. Go out and hunt your own meat with your bare hands. No guns, no bows, just the natural you. Wait! You’d be a vegetarian then because I doubt you could naturally kill most animals, maybe small kittens and puppies.
Gerbils, I bet gerbils would be an easy kill. Fire up the grill! |
