    You're probably right about other animals being intelligent and caring, I haven't been around them enough to really know how they behave. And to clarify, I don't particularly like the fact that animals have to be killed for food now that we have plenty of it, but me not eating them is not going to stop the slaughter, so I just eat the meat, at least they don't die for nothing, you know? Anyway, I guess I've been kinda desensitized to the murder of farm animals, that I consider it normal now, that's why eating cats and dogs seems so weird and messed up to me. That's just the circumstances influencing me. We can find common ground in the fact that animal murder is wrong, we just have different ways to deal with it. And maybe I'm a bit biased, having grown up with dogs my whole life

  • I'm happy we can find some common ground :smiley: And thanks for making me think, and come to the conclusion that no animal deserves to treated like that. It's always been something I never gave much thought to, part of me wanted to ignore it because I've always loved animals as a kid, and I didn't want to think about the harsh conditions they live and die in.
