We as a society will not respect the rights of animals because we don't recognize human rights properly yet.
First step: Recognize that humans are animals. Next step: Recognize that human life is not more important than life of any other animal. However, animals eat other animals. So do humans. Even if you eat only plants, you still kill life to eat. Except human life IS more important than animals. This concept that humans and animals are equal is nothing but a backdoor way to lower the standing of humans to that of an animal so that mistreatment of humans is excused. There is no way to give animals equal protection to humans and not do so. This is an anti-humanist viewpoint covered in a thin veneer of cute little furry creatures regardless if you recognize it as such or not. Are you sure? Why do you think human life is more important than the life of other animals? Because we can kill any animal on the planet anytime we want? Is the life of a lion more important than that of a gazelle?We are the most dangerous animal on the planet, not the most important. All life is equally important. Step out of your 'human thinking box'. BTW, humans are a plague.

First step: Recognize that humans are animals. Next step: Recognize that human life is not more important than life of any other animal. However, animals eat other animals. So do humans. Even if you eat only plants, you still kill life to eat. Humans are not animals. Research is showing us that even though humans and animals have many similar systems within them, they are two different kinds of creatures. Human life is way more important than all other life. People are the owners and controllers (at times) of other life. However, wanton destruction of other life by humans does not generally benefit humans, and should not be done. Humans, not being animals, cannot eat other animals. Cannibalism does exist, however. Humans who are simply living, kill multitudes of individual bacteria organisms within their bodies. If you really want to be completely just, kill yourself, so that you are not found guilty of killing off the multitudes of bacteria in your body. If you don't commit suicide, you are a mass killer by your own standards. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Take a biology class, come back and report your findings. We are mammals, we belong to the Great Apes family together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HumanYou don't need a biology class to see that animals are different than humans. Here's how you can easily see. This animal can reason this much.That animal can reason that much.Some other animal can reason so much.All the reasoning of the animals fits between this much and that much.But all the human reasoning exists between this much and that much.When you check into recent research, you will find that even the flesh of humans, while similar, has aspects that are completely different from all animals... greater in complexity and capability, just like human reasoning. Humans are not animals. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

THE FACT IS that making animals equivalent to humans lowers the value of human life down to that of an animal, and this is anti-human and totalitarian. I don't need any other reasons, that single reason is horrible enough to reject your postmodernist tripe.

You are really fucked up in your twisted, 1st century way of thinking. It is exactly that way of thinking that leads morons like you to genocides. If you think one type of animal is more valuable than the other, what will stop you from assigning different values to different types of humans, based on race, ethnicity, gender, etc.? Your classification is arbitrary. Mine is just based on science (biology).

Now saying humans are more important than animals is the same as being racist or sexist? Just being contrarian is not being advanced.

Humans are more valuable than horses, horses are more valuable than pigs, pigs are more important than squirrels or ants, etc. Following your logic, you will say that life of an educated, white, Protestant, male American is more than the life of an uneducated, poor, non-English speaking, old, female migrant from Honduras; or that males are more important than women or vice versa. I can only imagine where your way of thinking can lead you. You are so wrapped around your culturally driven superiority as a human being that you do not understand what I am saying. Give it a few decades, you will eventually get it. PS. Problem is you think you are not an animal.

That is the problem with your thinking. You are an inch closer to execute anyone who does not fit into your ideology. BTW, murderers should be executed, IMHO. It does not change the fact that their lives are not less valuable than your life or mine. Anyway, I don't think you will ever get what I am saying so I will let you go. It is probably very draining on your sadistic, misogynistic brain. I would not want you to get chronic headaches. LOL

This is not going to catch on. Entire industries, McDonalds, KFC, most fast food, and industrial farms - are going to be affected. But I surmise, having a meatless society could be a net positive for the environment as there would be less nitrogen and methane produced by animal poop. But then again, it would take an entire generation of people to get rid off their meat addiction. As somebody was apt to point out earlier, meat is an essential part of the human diet. And by George, does fried chicken and tenderloin taste good!

Brainless Vegan Activist’s ‘Rescue’ Of 16 Rabbits Resulted In Nearly 100 Being Killed In The ProcessA vegan activist’s ‘rescue mission’ at a rabbit farm in Spain last week actually led to the deaths of nearly 100 bunnies, it has been claimed. ‘Mythical Mia’, as she calls herself, was left covered in blood and claimed angry farmers had shot at her through a car window as she made her escape. The British activist proudly said she had saved 16 rabbits from the farm in Osona, but reports in Spain say several of the ‘rescued’ animals had just given birth, leaving dozens of bunnies stranded without a mother. Unable to fend for themselves, 90 helpless bunnies had to be put down, according to La Vanguardia. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7442869/Vegan-rescue-mission-killed-nearly-100-rabbits-Spain.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK

Best solution that is still somewhat realistic in my opinion is to make smaller scale farming practices more commonplace. Happy meat is tasty meat, get people hooked on the better tasting meat and at least part of the humane issue cures itself. The scary PETA people will never be satisfied, but regular people can probably agree that commercial chicken practices for example are pretty cruel. Make the practices of raising meat less cruel and as a result more tasty, and then you just have to get over the issue of cost. Theres probably some solution there somewhere for getting meat from farmers markets under $10/lb and into the grocery store meat price range.

We as a society will not respect the rights of animals because we don't recognize human rights properly yet.
First step: Recognize that humans are animals. Next step: Recognize that human life is not more important than life of any other animal. However, animals eat other animals. So do humans. Even if you eat only plants, you still kill life to eat. Except human life IS more important than animals. This concept that humans and animals are equal is nothing but a backdoor way to lower the standing of humans to that of an animal so that mistreatment of humans is excused. There is no way to give animals equal protection to humans and not do so. This is an anti-humanist viewpoint covered in a thin veneer of cute little furry creatures regardless if you recognize it as such or not. Are you sure? Why do you think human life is more important than the life of other animals? Because we can kill any animal on the planet anytime we want? Is the life of a lion more important than that of a gazelle?We are the most dangerous animal on the planet, not the most important. All life is equally important. Step out of your 'human thinking box'. BTW, humans are a plague. I don't give a shit about any of your relativist bullshit. THE FACT IS that making animals equivalent to humans lowers the value of human life down to that of an animal, and this is anti-human and totalitarian. I don't need any other reasons, that single reason is horrible enough to reject your postmodernist tripe. There are times when both of you are seemingly correct, though I agree more with the latter on principle because I am a human. Of all the creatures on the planet, we have been given the ability to create music, art, the sciences, medicine, the ability to transcend our current geosphere and to reach out to the stars. We are given mathematics, philosophy, psychology and technology. None of the other animals, no matter how much intelligence they have, have been able to reach the same zenith. Yes, we are stewards of this planet assigned to mold and shape it as we see fit. Perhaps you would not like to hurt an ant. What about a snake that enters your home that threatens your family? Equating human life to the life of a chicken, may seem to make sense from an extreme point of view. But as the guy above me said, "THE FACT IS that making animals equivalent to humans lowers the value of human life down to that of an animal, and this is anti-human and totalitarian. I don't need any other reasons, that single reason is horrible enough to reject your postmodernist tripe."

Properly cooked, snakes can make a tasty stew. Might even throw him in with the chicken stew to get a new flavor. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
