You don't need to bother coming out to my neck of the woods—we've already cleared out all the dogs and cats, and honestly, we just slaughter whatever other animals are left so we can actually eat them.🤣
If you don't believe me—I mean, seriously—just go ask some teachers at a local high school if they actually consider a human life to be worth more than an animal's. It's even written right there in our laws, I guess.
Human dignity—it’s a big concept, I guess... maybe just something we all kind of take for granted until it isn't there.As for animal dignity—I don't think I've even heard of that being a thing.
The truth is—and I guess this is just my take—that guy and his family are suffering because of these basically helpless animals... since we've been stripping away their natural instincts for centuries now. Maybe it's just how things are.
Thanks for the lesson, though I think you missed a spot. We basically learn this in elementary school—humans only ever domesticated livestock to get something out of them, like meat, milk, or eggs... you know, practical stuff—not just to have them sitting around as decor. To me, pet dogs are just completely unnecessary animals to have cluttering up a house. Not only do they kind of ruin the whole vibe of human comfort, but they also lose those raw instincts that would actually help them survive if things ever got real. Anything artificial is just... distorted, I guess. I tend to value natural things.
What am I even supposed to do about my pet???
That’s some pretty twisted thinking—I guess. Animals should have their own freedom, just like I have mine. If they can't survive on their own, then maybe they shouldn't be living at all.
You just don't seem to get it—that you can't exactly weigh a human life against an animal's, I guess.
Look, it’s just the plain truth—people and animals end up eating each other!
The bottom line here is that a
person shouldn't have to suffer because of an animal. To me, that's just not okay.☕

They said the exact same thing back in ancient Rome when they first established liability for killing a slave.
Back then, he was considered nothing more than property.
Ah, standards. It's funny how much they shift over time. 🙂
