More vegan insanity
Aug. 14th, 2012 01:39 amEvery fucking time I get online, I get barraged by more drivel from animal rights activists and vegans. Fucking hell! Shut the fuck up, already! Your whole point of view is stupid and childish. You are literally the small child that has grown attached to the animal that was to be your food. GROW THE FUCK UP. It's the fucking circle of life, people! If we didn't eat meat, we wouldn't have art, music, cities, or the Internet. We are what we are because we're a predatory race; we got where we are from eating meat. DEAL WITH IT.
I mean really, why should we have to grant animals rights just because you've grown attached to them? Humans form attachments to anything. Should we give teddy bears rights because 5 year olds are attached to them? I'm quite fond of my computer, and would be devastated if it was lost, stolen, or broken, but you don't see me starting a "computer rights" movement because of it. I have a friend who was so attached to a particular tree that she cried for an hour when a storm knocked it over, and mourned for weeks, but she didn't start a "people for the ethical treatment of trees" movement because of it. She didn't boycott wood, or fruit, or maple syrup because of it. Because she's not a damned child.
Let's face facts here, people: animals are not humans. They don't have art, or music, or cities, or any other sign of being sentient creatures. They are mobile sources of protein first and foremost. If some species are treated like living teddy bears, this in no way validates the animal rights movement. Animals have no rights because they cannot ask for rights. They don't know what rights are. They never will. They don't care; they're animals. Having concern for the rights of animals makes about as much sense as being concerned over the rights of bacteria. Sure, animals are smarter than bacteria, but so what? A fucking calculator - an inanimate object - is smarter than bacteria. Whoop dee motherfucking doo.
The animal rights morons keep saying "animals have feelings! They feel pain!" SO? I'm sure bacteria feel pain, too, but that doesn't stop you from slathering on the anti-bacterial soap. Plants have been recorded making screaming noises out of the range of human hearing while being hurt or cooked, but that doesn't stop you chomping down on carrots. The plain and simple fact is that you've developed a childish attachment to animals, and as a result you are projecting humanity onto them. You are anthropomorphizing a creature that runs solely on instinct. No matter how much you may think it loves you, it doesn't. It is incapable of loving you. ANIMALS ARE NOT HUMANS. GROW THE FUCK UP AND STOP BEING RIDICULOUS!
