Humas were not given domain over animals. We gained it through hard work and toil. We have a right to reap what we have sown!

Can anyone speak seagull?

If so, would you translate? If not, how do you know they don't have moral debates?

To strengthen and maintain the survival of our species is part of our primal instincts. Of course we are going to give our own species more rights than other species.

Also, human arrogance believing that we are 'better' than animals comes from our dominance instinct. This mentality is natural for animals. Animals follow their instincts, exactly like the human race does.

[fact]Humans are animals.[/fact]

:P

IMO the concept of "animal rights" is ludicrous. I love animals... I had chicken for lunch today and beef for supper yesterday.

We should treat our animals well. But they're animals. They're meant to be used.


that is a very ignorant comment.

could you tell me why you think they should be used?
we are animals too if you step down from your hubris

Why shouldn't they be used?
Actually, that depends on the definition used. We are in the animal kingdom, however, one of the definitions of animal is specifically any creature in that kingdom that isn't human.
