Animals Are Not Ours To Wear

[Holly Goodhead]

I don't really have a problem with using animals for sustinance...the whole Native American way. In nature there are herbivores and there are carnivores and each has to survive. But as we have it now, it's kind of wasteful, only using certain parts of the animal and discarding all the rest, and then I'm sure tons of the meat that does get used for food is discarded as well. And as far as fur clothing goes, it seems to me that only people who live far North would still need to wear it for a non-fashion reason. Killing something for a fickle concept like fashion is kind of sick.

what are you talking about.

You part of the animal rights group?

That anything like the "hump" on a camel's back...cause that stuff makes good bar-b-que.

This makes me happy that Fall is right around the corners so I can start wearing my leather again.

[Holly Goodhead]

I know you guys are joking but it's sad how desensitized most Americans have become to animal cruelty.

 

[C. Lee]

I blame it on FOX news.

 

[jaguarr]

But I really do like wearing leather?

I'd like to wear your wifes hide.

I like my leather jacket. It's nice and cosy in the winter.

We are cruel to plants all the time. They are a form of life. Should we be prejudice to RNA and not DNA? Are things with faces the only thing we should respect? How about microscopic lifeforms? We kill more lifeforms by eating cheese or washing our bedsheets.

Where does it end? Or should we just accept our place in the scheme of Natural Selection?

People such as yourself that advocate killing of people in grotesque fashion yet decry it as a vile crime when done to animals deserve to wallow in the anguish of their own hypocrisy.

There's a difference between eating something that used to have a heartbeat and eating something that doesn't have a nervous system.

What makes you think plants DON'T have nervous systems or can't feel pain?

Apparently you failed Biology class.

 

[Franklin Richards]

What? What is the difference? That we have placed our own personal emotions into it? We anthropomorphize animals but we have no scientific evidence that plants and bacteria don't feel the same things. Some science suggests that plantlife is very much a feeling, living lifeform.

So where does it end? I'll tell you where. It ends with the ego of the human race. We place emotional ties with some animals but not all lifeforms. It makes us feel better to protect a puppy. But the fact of the matter is that puppies are just as much creatures of instinct as a venus flytrap is.

Kinda like fornicate for celibacy.

You got me. Sunnuva *****!

Apparently you never studied any botany. While plants may not have as complex a nervous system as motile organisms like humans, animals and fish, they do possess sensory structures and nerve fibers. What it may come down to, really, though, is the question of sentiency. No one really knows how sentient plants may or may not be because they function at a level that man hasn't been able to fully understand.

Anyone remember the Killer Carrot from Lost In Space?

 

[Franklin Richards]

Yeah. I ground him into pulp and made a zig zag out of him. I then proceeded to smoke him and his pot brother. It was sweet.

You sound so silly right now.

Plants have no form of a nervous system or a cerebral cortex. Obviously they can react to things like temperature, pH, and light but thats due to chemicals in their stems and leaves.
Plants can't feel pain. Nor can they think, nor could they ever evolve to be able to think. If a plant like thing was capable of movement and thought, then it wouldnt be classified as a plant.

Comprehend?
