Why Animals Don't Have Rights

[happypoet]

Yeasts that are artificially supplemented. I find it an amusing argument that artificial supplementation can provide B12. It is a product of the same technology that makes us so destructive in the eyes of many who espouse veganism.

You're right! I thought it was the yeasts, but it is bacteria that produce it.

*sigh* last try then...

Animals are unessesary to humans now. With tech we can outdo and replace any animal on this planet, with tech we could someday cease needing this planet altogether. Therefor, logically, humans should wipe out all animal life, because such life is a possible threat to us through disease, predation, competition for resources, extra. That is the logical solution to all our problems. No animals means no reason to care about earths ecosystem, beyond allowing it to sustain plant life. So now, logically, animals deserve no rights whatsoever, because they are not human.

Was that heartless enough for ya, or do we need to enter the realm of open cruelty (if we haven't already)

Why on earth would you endeavor to be heartless?

Are you going to reply to the content or not? Too logical for ya? Or just to emotionless? Which is what heartless meant.

This will be an endless argument and a source of name calling and useless sarcasm. Animals cannot have "rights" since they have no privileges allotted to them. Altruism towards animals is a simple misconception and a waste of effort.

Hooray for Anthropocentrism!

Everyone needs to calm down, we're all just children of the great flying spaghetti monster. He'll show us the way to salvation, and teach us the true meaning of animal rights.

Altruism, yes. It would be nonsensical for anyone to claim that they would essentially risk their own life for their pet and somehow gain some genetic benefit from that...
