Animals

[RyminWizard]

My buddy & I had a little competition. (we always have stupid pointless ones like this LOL) but anyways this one was this
" think of as many things that we use animals for" I thought of 11 they were
1. food
2. pets
3. transportation
4. entertainment
5. leather
6. raising
7. helper animals
8. medical treatments
9. therapy
10. educational
11. research

I won cause she thought of 9 but do u see any that we missed?

I OPPOSE THIS THREAD. Im against the cruelty towards animals..and that no one even feels any remorce towrds them. Animals are treated horribly, especially at large-scale slaughter houses..pigs are forced to live in tiny cages..and when pigs have their piglets, they instinctly like to have theirs children, in a sfe spot..but they're not removed from their cages, and when the mother pig has them, some of them get killed by their small legs getting stuck in the cage floor..and now they have found that they can use pig heart valves in humans..which would last about 10 years or so..so the killing will continue. Animals are just like us..I think everyone should take a stand against this.

UMMMMMM YA........ WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS?????? AND THE WHOLE PIG STORY..... SHE HAS NOTHING ON THE LIST ABOUT A PIG IN A SLOTTER HOUSE SO U HAVE NEVER ATE MEAT WICH WOULD BE THE FOOD ONE , HAD A PET, ROAD A HORSE OR SOMTHING LIKE THAT FOR TRANSPORTATION , NEVER WATCHED AMIMALS FOR ENTERTAMENT OR WENT TO THE ZOO, NEVER HAD ANY THING LEATHER, SINCE I'M FROM WI AND WE HAVE A LOT OF FARMS I KNOW A LOT ABOUT RAISING ANIMALS AND IF YOU ARE MEAN TO YOUR ANIMALS THEY WONT COROPERATE SO THE RAIERS HERE ARNT MEAN , USED A ANIMAL FOR HELP SUCH AS THE BLIND, MEDICAL TREATMENTS WOULD BE LIKE USING A PIG HEAT FOR A HUMAN, THERAPY PEOPLE USE DOGS FOR HELP, EDICATIONAL WOULD BE LIKE YOU STUDING A ANIMAL, AND RESERCH WOULD BE LIKE HOW THEY FIND CURES FOR THINGS AND HOW THEY FOUND OUT THAT HUMANS CAN USE A PIG HEART !!!!!! SO FROM WHAT I SEE NOTHING IN THIS LIST IS CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS.

Yeah, were do I even start. First off are u accusing me of posting about cruelty to animals. If so where in the hell did u get that from. I am in school to be a vet. a month ago this was actually one of our assingment. We were looking through our old notes. I'd like to see if u know more about animals than me.

 

[KittieKat]

oK, actually I never said that you were for it...i just said that I was against it..and I didnt think it was very nice talking about how we kill animals to make things...you can mkae more out of it if you want..I was just stating my opinion, thats it..I wasnt saying anything anyone. I just think its sad what our society has come to.

 

[nat07]

OUR SOCIETY HAS NOT COME TO THIS....BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE THE INDIANS AND PIONERS WERE HERE THAT IS HOW THEY SURVIVED. THEY HAD TO USE ANIMALS AND KILL ANIMALS.

 

[RyminWizard]

I never said it had to be about killing them to make things. R u a vegitarian? I don't see what I said for you to "I OPPOSE THIS THREAD" state it.

 

[RyminWizard]

btw....what has our society come to? We have always used animals. They used them for food shelter & companionship.

Hmmmm........

I'm kinda with Steph, I think the list does show how badly animals are abused. It's certainly what I thought when I first read it.

(That was a really worthy contribution, wasn't it? )

 

[RyminWizard]

actually I'd like to know where it says that animals are being abused? btw how old are each of u & what kind work or what do u know about animals. Or what is your "expert" experience with them. Since I am training I think it is safe guess I know more than you not that its that important.

I think the list you made has its positives and negatives. I think the way you listed it made it seem like food was the number 1 reason why there are animals. I think that there are so many ways that we could treat the animals that we use for food then putting them in slaughter houses. I know where KittieKat is comming from because my brother is a vegetarian/vegan. So it is possible for people to live without eating meat, but i know i wouldn't be able to live like that.

 

[RyminWizard]

Thank you SDAngel101 for pointing that out. They are in no particular order. Thats just what I thought of first.

 

[poohdiddy]

u guys it was just a game its not taking about how he wants to kill animals for thing it was just a friendly little game. can't we all just get along?

 

[KittieKat]

God, you know sorry Im oppinionated, sorry I care.

 

[PigSoldier]

Blaaaahhhh.........

(That's the sound of me thinking 'I really should stay out of this, nothing good is going to come out of me posting, but I'm going to post anyway )

btw how old are each of u & what kind work or what do u know about animals. Or what is your "expert" experience with them. Since I am training I think it is safe guess I know more than you not that its that important.

I know absolutely nothing about animals. (They're nasty creepy crawly scaly things )

But I do think that animals should be able to live lives free from unnessecary pain and suffering. Or did your studies teach you otherwise?

im not going to say anything specific about either side, just that i luv animals but i also do eat meat and i do try to cut down of the leater. i dont mean to be rude, but no matter what anyone says the issue is going to stay an issue for a very looooooooooooong time. ok well i just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
