Guest Rambo Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 To me there's a degree of logic to it because generally speaking the more intelligent something is, the more capacity it has to suffer. It's like when humans suffer, we usually have this whole baggage attached to it, of feeling sorry for ourselves and that often hurts as much if not more than the actual physical pain. I think i know what you're talking about though. No animal has any more or less right to be alive than any other animal.

essines Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 yeah, sorry, stepping on ants whilst walking across the street isn't so bad, but justifying killing something consciously because they are less intelligent seems inherently wrong. ps fuck the word conscious and fuck spelling it.

joshuatxuk Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Another aspect on why whaling is "bad" is the lack of necessity in killing and eating whales. Whaling used to be for a multitude of products: lamp oil, wax, ivory and bone, baleen (which was used for combs and clothing products until replaced by plastic), ambergris, etc. Now it's a delicacy and nothing more. Its meat is often packed with metal traces and toxins. Still, there are more brutal practices. Millions of sharks are caught, have fins cut off, and usually thrown back in the ocean to slowly die. Then there is all that Chinese medicine bullshit, including bears that are caged and drained of bile.

(i don't do much about it though, so i'm a hypocrite, ok, i'll be the first to admit it) buuuut, it makes me feel a tinge more emotional to hear about a highly intelligent animal being killed, like a whale, because they have some kind of awareness about it and so do the other whales that travel in their pod.

Alzado Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 animals consuming other animals for food is a fact of the natural world. there's nothing inherently wrong about it. but there is something wrong with the way humans currently do it. we don't respect ecology and each animal's rightful place in the world. we don't kill only what we need. we kill a staggering number of animals in shocking ways. and killing them to eat wouldn't be a problem, even in the case of whales, if we didn't also destroy their habitats on such a grand scale. there's nothing wrong with being a part of the food chain. but we do not compete equitably or sustainably.
