Plutarch on animal ethics

[Speaker to Animals]

Man-ape hybrids make good super soldiers.

Does an animal have ethical value outside of how much humans can use it?

Does an animal have its own wants and needs?

The Strong do what they can, while the weak endure what they must.

You don’t strike me as the type that would survive in a society actually built like that

Mars rules the hierarchy...

Gaia forms the bonds of camaraderie within the ranks.

We may choose to die for our leaders and we may choose to die for our friends...

Two different forms of loyalty.

We can be loyal to our king or our commander...

But our loyalty to our friends is of a different nature.

Some relationships with animals are purely out of the one... but we can have both with pets.

Some people treat pets purely as friends... some purely as subjects and some as both.

I think not taking authority over your pets is actually irresponsible...
our domesticated pets shouldn't really be left without an authority figure...
maybe cats... but certainly not dogs.

My dogs sit at the foot of the lord, pampered far better than most peoples children.

To include raw meat diet with home cooked supplement.

My wife is the really crazy one, crazy dog lady is what we call her.

I can curl nearly 40 pounds dude. Last week I did nearly 200 jumping jacks.

My wife is rather the opposite of JohnDonne, she thinks feeding your dog anything except the raw meat diet with home cooking on the side, is abusive.

She does feel sorry for pigs, still eats bacon tho. Still feeds them to her dogs.

[Speaker to Animals]

Like Tulsi Battle Angel, I am Martian.

Might need to give up eating beef products for Tulsi.

[heydaralon]

She's like the wife of the warden of piggy Auschwitz.

I said having pets is a bad idea, and being a responsible pet owner means invasive surgery. My recommendation? Don’t support animal breeders of any kind because they’re evil, and if you adopt a shelter animal, feed them vegan.

Collectively scale down animal domestication until there are just wild and free animals.

I've adopted 10-12 cats in my life. Every one of them from a shelter or found on the streets.

Your wish that we stop adopting them and fixing them only means one thing. More cats and dogs that nobody can care for. That means MORE suffering. You truly are short-sighted.

Also, no way to kill a carnivore quicker than starving it to death by refusing to feed it the nutrition it needs to survive.

You truly are advancing the notion that cats & dogs should suffer more. Very odd.

Or troll. I'm going with troll.
