Sociopath Community

People get emotionally attached to animals.They sometimes care about them more than they care about people, and spend more money/do more things for them than they would for people. Maybe because animals are cute and obedient, and also helpless, while people are a pain in the ass sometimes, and also have a favorite position in society to begin with.

When things/animals people care about get hurt, people get mad. What's not to get about that Cain? Do you pretend not to understand that just to appear cool or badass on SW?

Animals have no rights the way humans have no rights. There is no god sitting there deciding who have rights.

However it is a nice thing I think if we treat people and animals with respect.

But of course it has to be from a human perspective. People are much more upset that the tiger and giant panda will go extinct that some reptiles and birds that are much more endangered. People have preferences. The same with animals. When they say something is a pet, it should be treated well, when it is part of production people do not care if the animal suffers.

I do think pets should not suffer because we take them in, it's like a promise. I also think animals in production should be treated much better. One reason is they taste like crap right now.The other is a moral question. Killing and eating is right, cramming 3000 birds into a small barn and call that free roaming is not.

I understand these are just my personal ideas but since I don't believe in a god that gives me rules, my own ideas will have to do. I don't think animals should suffer just because we need to eat them. When I kill, I kill for the meat. I don't kill to cause pain. Also in my mind there is a distinction between pets and food. People might say that is something that doesn't exist in itself in the world and they are right. But the difference still exist in my mind and I follow it because it has worked so far.

I mean how stupid can a person be? If they get a dog they feed it and walk it. They don't tie it to a pole in the hot sun with no water. Even if you're not pro animal rights, you have to admit that is bizarre behavior. It makes no sense. 

I can understand somebody getting upset about their pet getting hurt. But if it is an animal you have never even seen. I see no point in getting upset. It seems like a lack of control of their emotions.

There is a woman I know who owns a dog. The dog has had an illness which means its brain swells larger than its skull and the animal is in pain and needs tablets everyday. Yet she keeps it alive and wont put it out of its misery.

Yet the same woman hate any animal cruelty. She regularly talks about how she hates certain members of the human population but if you mention animals she sides with them and their wellbeing above all else.

Firstly I think people who put animals above humans is fuckin nuts and secondly she is being cruel to her own dog just because she would rather it suffer so she can have her companion alive still.

Hi Cain. I think there are at least two factors here.

1. One is people go through their "grief phases" and project anger onto one political and religious issue or another, outside of themselves. This happens with any number of issues. It is not specific to animal rights.

Of course, there is some personal projection of their own internal conflicts with learned helplessness. Some of these people act like teenagers in angry rebellion, still fighting between authority figures and taking responsibility for managing their own business. They see problems, but feel powerless, so they blame on others.

This anger phase will pass, but like having teenagers in the house, it's a FU pain. 

2. As for animals rights specifically:

For each person who puts humans first, and trash animals and environment as expendable, there are people who worship the earth and animals in place of God, and denigrate humans as worthless selfish parasites blamed for the abuses.

Some who go to opposite extremes even blame religion for destroying earth by teaching material life is sin and the only heaven is after earth is passed away etc.

Truly peaceful animal/earth lovers also love and respect people EQUALLY as part of the same equation. They don't get religious about it, while blaming religions!

The truth is somewhere in between: yes, people have greater responsibility, but yes we need to restore balance to the planet not just between people but plants and animals as well since the ecosystems involves keeping all these in harmony.

Good input.
