LOL. The pureness of your selfishness prevents you from even being able to consider how life has positive or negative value to the animal. All you are ever able to consider are your own imaginary moral browny points, not animals. Where did you copy the idea that life can have a positive value for animals from? |

I did a Google search for the exact quote trying to find where you copied it from, but all it came up with was me quoting you, and asking you where you copied it, etc. Where did you copy the idea from Dutch? Where, you sorry ass? |

You get no credit for any of it when you eat a chicken leg.

When the subject is about livestock you compare it to humans, and now when the subject is about humans: "Q: What is the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement? VHEMT (pronounced vehement) is a movement not an organization. It's a movement advanced by people who care about life on planet Earth. We're not just a bunch of misanthropes and anti-social, Malthusian misfits, taking morbid delight whenever disaster strikes humans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Voluntary human extinction is the humanitarian alternative to human disasters." you bring up livestock. You come up "ARA" every damn time you make a post. |

You should be objecting to VHEMT on that basis. |

Relevant when they do, not when "they" don't. >If humans go extinct then so will livestock. Agreed. >You should be objecting to VHEMT on that basis. Should we think of those things differently? My overall thinking is that humans should have more control over the animals who live and die, and the quality of their lives. "ARAs" say humans should have less, though they happily contribute to the deaths of wildlife through their use of roads and buildings, paper and wood products, products which are mined, their own diets etc, the same as everyone else does. So far they have yet to provide good reason to eliminate livestock *instead of* providing them with decent lives, even though that is the option they wish to impose. |

"aras" believe humans should exercise COMPLETE control over livestock, but they want the control to be exercised in one way only: to stop breeding them. > So far they have yet to provide good reason > to eliminate livestock *instead of* providing them with decent lives False choice, as always. |

That's a lie, you have made it abundantly clear that you believe it is an inherent failing of veganism that their diets do not "encourage lives for animals", referring to unborn livestock. >>If humans go extinct then so will livestock. > > Agreed. Yet the extinction of mankind is a moral issue to most people, while there is no moral importance at all to the extinction of livestock species. >>You should be objecting to VHEMT on that basis. > > Should we think of those things differently? Yes. > My overall thinking > is that humans should have more control over the animals who > live and die, and the quality of their lives. "ARAs" say humans > should have less, though they happily contribute to the deaths > of wildlife through their use of roads and buildings, paper and wood > products, products which are mined, their own diets etc, the same > as everyone else does. There's a difference between contributing to collateral animal deaths and having "control" over animals. Please do not confuse the two issues. > So far they have yet to provide good reason > to eliminate livestock *instead of* providing them with decent lives, > even though that is the option they wish to impose. The reason is their belief that raising animals in captivity in order to use them for products is wrongful exploitation. Neither you nor I agree with that reasoning, but your argument that they are "denying animals a chance to experience life" or other similiar ideas, is pure unadulterated hogwash that you should discard as quickly as possible. |
