??? Birds have the same amount of feelings that mammals do. In fact, besides humans, parrots and other birds are the most intellegent animals, even more so than monkeys or gorillas and chimps. And intellegence doesn't account for feelings, neither does morality! Besides, all animals feel physical pain, including fish, even spiders. Just to explain that just because birds aren't as closely related to us, doesn't mean they feel less pain, or makes killing them or hurting them more "humane". So I guess in your opinion birds are "lower" than mammals, where mammals feelings are more important to you. If you need protien, you can get it from many other foods such as all nuts, tofu, beans, dairy products (which doesn't kill animals, but currently most cows are tortured anyway...), and eggs (the chickens are VERY tortured...:() I just want people to stop torturing the animals and pretend that they don't have feelings, that is all. I'd be mostly okay with people still eating meat if chickens were treated as well as humans in the US were.rsgh5 said:i don't like the concept of eating animals... but if i need protein, i need protein, and it's more humane (in my opinion) to get it from a bird than from a mamal (which is why i only eat bird and fish for meat) i prefer barbequed chicken, white meat only! (either teriaki or with barbeque sauce is best)
Humans can kill other animals or humans, so why should we protect them? Roosters may not be friendly but they don't just go around killing people for fun! How many times have you heard of a rooster killing a human anyway? About as much as you hear shark attacks. Animals don't have morals to tell them it is wrong to kill humans, while humans do, they seem to think if the animal doesn't have morals it is okay to kill it. :/asher_son_of_ash said:Animal Intelligence is below human level. =p But not that low. Their sense are amazing, isn't it? Plus, they have this neat order ... And ... why do you protect animals when they can also kill? x.X; Roosters have those sharp talons...
Anyway, back on topic. I like my chicken BOTH fried and baked. =P
Okay, but I don't like that people love to eat chicken and don't care one bit about their feelings. I mean at least acknowledge that they have them and that you care, but lots of people think it is okay to just torture animals, after all, they are for humans to use so we can use them for whatever purpose our greedy little minds want to? We should be a lot kinder to animals, especially since they helped us out in the past and continue to help us, whether you are talking about dogs, chickens, or even spiders.BladeForever said:ehh, I'm sure you guys dont want this to turn out into one of those ''save the animals thread'' again. >_< I remember when we went over this before, and people were going back and forth at each others necks because one group finds it animal cruelty.. the others feel it's ok, and blah blah blah. This should just be a thread that you vote in.. Though I do understand points from both areas, I'd like to see a thread like this just be kept to the voting, and not another ''animal cruelty is bad'' thing. =/
