I tend to stay out of the melees that trolls like this generate
preferring instead to spend my time here learning from masters of a
unique and wonderful cooking method. However your post piqued my
interest. Do not the phrases "exist for their own reasons" and "were
not made for" contradict each other by presenting diametrically opposed
views of the world?

If they weren't made for human consumption, why are they made out of meat?

Can you verify that? Animals become food for bigger animals. That is how
they survive.

Maybe we should issue birth control to robins so they will cease to exist
and stop eating all the good worms.

I have a book called "303 of the World's Worst Predictions" by Wayne
Coffey. According to him, in 1958, Thomas J. Watson of IBM said "I
think there is a world market for about five computers." Sure am glad
he was wrong.

AIUI, they based the lease model and commission scheme based on that
prediction. When AT&T placed there first order for six computers, the
salesman was able to retire.

Alice Walker is a Feminist writer.
She isn't qualified to proclaim animals are not for food.

Which part do you object to?

What would constitute qualifications for doing so?

A statement with no logical relation to the statement that follows?
How odd.

My dog has a cold nose. Snowmobiles are a problem in Yellowstone.

If you choose to respond to that, I'll just say that I simply made a
statement.

Extensive knowledge of ethics and the study thereof, for starters. But
you're the one who proclaimed her unqualified, so you take it from
there.

Who's ethics? Isn't that something that varies by culture?

The study of ethics is an academic disicipline, and yes it does
include multiple cultures. I would find an ethicist much more
persuasive from the standpoint of qualifications than I would Alice
Walker. But to dismiss her as unqualified to speak on the subject of
ethics because she is a "feminist writer" strikes me as an
unsupportable position.

My statement was, "She isn't qualified to proclaim animals are not for
food".
Maybe it wasn't perceived the way it was intended. IBwhatshername quoted
Alice Walker's poem.
Without authority, the proclamation is meaningless to those with opposing
opinions.

Okay, go ahead and pick this one apart too.
