I would easily 'trade' some scumbag molester or rapists life for animals life. I don't give a fuck about those who does horrible things to other human beings. i.e murder, rape and all that shit. Yeah, might sound cold but that is how i think. | ||

Human life is not, in all cases, more "valuable" than animal life. By the way, I think the question is stupid to begin with. What's the metric by which we're measuring value? | ||

Your name tells me you are trolling? Either way, I feel better valueing human beings along side animals. I kill annoying bugs, I fish etc, its not the killing that is mistreating animals, its when we are responsible for their entire lifes, that it would be better if we treated them with equal respect as humans. So yes, I am saying, killing is perfectly fine, but treating them when they are alive should be of high quality. | ||

What about high-intelligence animals such as chimpanzees or bonobos? Certainly they're self-aware, rational, and sapient as well? Are they more "people" than a profoundly mentally retarded human? | ||

I find the lives of some invertebrates and even microbes to be more precious to me than some humans. To me, they serve a greater purpose to the World than many humans do, because they are actually doing something intrinsically productive. | ||

So yes, I am saying, killing is perfectly fine, but treating them when they are alive should be of high quality. Greed. In China, the wholesale price of Bear Bile is around 4000 yuan (approximately $580) per kilogram. I have a pet dog who has been in the family for 7 years, god forbid, if my family had run out of resources, I would not hesitate to kill him to feed my family. Call me callous. | ||
