I don't hear you complaining that people don't appreciate mice, it's always livestock. What's the big thing you have with livestock? Sure, they're tasty, but do they appreciate life more than mice? |

Heh heh heh...****wit doesn't actually like *any* animals, as animals; he only likes animal products. Mice don't yield any products, so ****wit has no use for them. Dutch, ****wit's phony valuation of animals' "getting to experience life" is so *obviously* phony. He doesn't care about animals at all; ****wit only cares about products from animals. >>> They're bigger, but that's not a good reason, >>> that just means there will be fewer of them, fewer animal to "experience >>> life". >> >> Can you in any way appreciate the fact that mice >> experience life? *YOU* can't, ****wit. But that's because you don't give a shit about any animals at all. In any case, there's nothing to "appreciate"; so, rather strangely, ****wit, you're right not to appreciate it. >> If not, then why do you keep bringing it up? >> >> If so, then try explaining why you think that same >> consideration should not be applied to all animals. > > I don't hear you complaining that people don't appreciate mice, it's > always livestock. What's the big thing you have with livestock? Sure, > they're tasty, but do they appreciate life more than mice? ****wit *only* likes the products; he places no value whatever on animals' "getting to experience life; that is obviously and irrefutably just a smokescreen for ****wit. |

So far I'm in favor of livestock and mice, over mice but no livestock. I believe livestock are capable of getting more out of life than mice are, because I feel that they have more mental ability to do so. >>>They're bigger, but that's not a good reason, >>>that just means there will be fewer of them, fewer animal to "experience >>>life". >> >> Can you in any way appreciate the fact that mice >> experience life? >> >> If not, then why do you keep bringing it up? >> >> If so, then try explaining why you think that same >> consideration should not be applied to all animals. > >I don't hear you complaining that people don't appreciate mice, Who doesn't? >it's always >livestock. What's the big thing you have with livestock? People who can't appreciate livestock pretend to appreciate mice, which is a stupefying limitation of the mind. >Sure, they're >tasty, but do they appreciate life more than mice? I believe even very young chickens do. That is from personal experience around both. |

At least that explains why you oppose some livestock in favor of mice, even though I still don't go along with you on it. I don't have reason to believe mice enjoy life more than some chickens or cattle either...it depends on what their particular life is like. Then there's the ever present fact that humans can deliberately provide decent lives for chickens and cattle better than they can for any wild animals. Also, what is the average lifespan of wild mice in comparison to chickens and cattle? I feel certain that the average life span of even broiler chickens is longer than the average life span of wild mice, and cattle much more than that. So far we have no reason to favor your mice over livestock, and most likely we never will have. |

Favoring mice means that many thousand-fold more lives are supported on the same resource. That at the very least makes it absurd to favor livestock. |

There's certainly no point to giving the phony, philosophically empty and unsound "consideration" that ****wit falsely says he gives and cynically urges others to give. ****wit stupidly insists that giving consideration to the lives livestock *might* lead, if they exist, must automatically translate into thinking the livestock "ought" to exist. It's bullshit, of course, and there's no point in making that absurd leap. *Any* reasonable person might give consideration to the quality of live that actual livestock lead, but *NO* reasonable person would warp that consideration to reach a conclusion that livestock "ought" to exist, as the stupid cracker ****wit David Harrison does. Of course, ****wit doesn't give any consideration to animals' lives at all. He only cares about the products derived from animals; that is abundantly well established. > >>> In fact it's probably the most pointless >>> idea I've ever heard.

If ****wit *really* were concerned with the moral meaning of animals' "getting to experience life", then he should, indeed, favor mice and lots of other species of small animals over all the large livestock animals humans raise, which is to say, over all livestock. But ****wit doesn't really care about animals at all; his entire wasted nine-year gag has been nothing but a ****witted cracker troll to try to justify his own lust for "meat...gravy." |
