So only cows, pigs, and chickens count? Other animals don't? And many animals kill for sport. Cats, chimps, otters, dolphins, dogs, and wolves off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many, many more. Most of those will also kill the babies of thier own kind and sometimes eat them. Actually, now that I think about it, pigs are mean as hell and will kill and eat pretty much anything they can, including cats, rats, and baby animals of other species. |
No all animals matter, i don't pick and choose which ones are more important. I don't partake in speciesism. I just mentioned those animals because of the topic at hand. Those are the main ones we breed, torture, and kill by billions every year and they are most docile. All of those animals you listed kill out of necessity(food) or self defense. Also the scale of those situations doesn't even compare to what we do to them. Pigs mean as hell? lol Maybe abused pigs. Pigs are very docile and extremely smart, smarter than most breeds of dogs, but the majority of bacon eaters lose their shit when people talk about eating dogs. Reality is very few animals will go out of their way to injure or kill another animal without feeling threatened or for necessity due to their biological make up. Humans were not designed to eat meat, and we are healthier without it. We haven't evolved to meat, which is why we still cook pretty much all meat to make it "safe".
