Like Shawna said, they should get the respect and care they deserve while they're here.

In the case of household animals, such as dogs or cats, I believe they're here to be our companions for as long as they live (or we live -- by the way, Old Yeller should be required viewing for any young kid who owns a dog). So we don't eat them. (At least in this part of the world.)

Are you seriously posting this? Are you being underhandedly funny?


How can you possibly logically connect that some animals were placed on this earth for companionship and some for food? That's completely similar to thinking some people were placed on this earth to prosper, and others were put on this earth to be slaves.



DUMB.

Looks like I did post that. Hm.

Thanks for the compliment!

So original. (and really I'm just rolling my eyes without smiling)

I like Sarah Palin's politics & her love of liberty & her rugged individualism, but I have to admit that I don't think she has a high IQ. I think she has a pretty low IQ. She seems incapable or at least uninclined to draw rational conclusions in the abstract from specific premises. Abstracting reasonably from specifics is the surest sign of elevated IQ. Just consider my own humble case.

yes, but I wasn't trying to make a point for either side.
I just like that quote and the book.

She's not dumb Liam, for sharing her opinion. It clearly says in the Old Testament in the Bible which types of animals and which types of sea creatures were put on this earth to feed humans.

Amen!!

If everyone had the same opinion, things would be hella boring. So let's not call someone dumb when their opinion differs from yours! THAT is being dumb, and just flat out intolerance!!!
