You are nucking futs.

But, animals eat their young if they do not smell right or if food is scarce in the area. Why should they have those rights and not us ?

T^T

you want to use the animal kingdom as a desirable model for human behavior?

They don't anyway. It's a myth that animals eat their young for food.

They eat their young out of fear and confusion.

Which is very apt with regard to a few threads next door, because human beings do exactly the same thing.

We kill fellow humans in other lands out of fear and confusion.

And sometimes we kill fellow humans because they are rabid animals that need to be put down.

Not nearly so often or with as much glee.

Oh dizzy, come on now. Form complete thoughts in your head and then write the complete thought down. Do what not nearly as often as what? Do what more gleefully as doing what less gleefully. If you take this advice your posts would actually start to make sense. Other people do, if you practice you can too.

Not my fault you have trouble with reading comprehension. I'll give you a hint: context. It's all about the context baby.

I suppose you say that as you look in the mirror vile critter parts.

we're also capable of moral behavior, whereas animals are not.

.....sure they are and show it all of the time.

where I demur would be in an animals ability to understand between "right and wrong" or "good and bad" and to make conscious choices according to morality.

Studies have shown that human brains are wired for empathy and that our sense of fairness is innate. It follows that our moral sense is not dependent on any rational knowledge of good and evil (as a Christian you will recall the reason for the fall). People will argue perfectly rationally that the loss of one life is preferable to a loss of ten, but only when they don't have to do the killing. Morality precedes rationality and can only be corrupted by it.
