...rubycodez said it is a natural right for humans to predate on the higher mammals, and erlegreer added that this predation is "natural" because its means are the product of evolution.
Well, I don't think we're 'higher' or 'lower' than any other animals. Our evolved forebrain lets us do advantageous things like factory farming, in the same way a tiger has big teeth for grabbing and killing.
Once again, there is no inherent meaning in nature. No example from nature implies anything about good, or evil, or whether or not there is a natural right to predate on lower animals.
Agree completely.
Since you found those facts to imply that humans are evil...
I did not infer that humans are evil, nor do I think humans are evil; I thought the implication was there in the AC comment. My Comment:
Some AC drives it offtopic into the land of beef production, trying to imply that we are an evil species, I speak up.
I didn't know tarantula hawks had a culture that produced systems of morality and ethics
...who are you to say they have not? Morality and ethics depend on where you stand. Just ask Hitler. Ask the people killing other people over a YouTube movie. Ask the guy car bombing an abortion doctor. Perhaps tarantula hawks have a system of morality and ethics far beyond humans. They only kill what they eat or can use.
perhaps you think that because the preying mantis exists women should devour their partners (after obtaining the seed, of course)?
Uh, you may want to check up on your biology. The males can't ejaculate until their heads come off. So, without the females decapitating them, the species would quickly die out. The parallel in humans is extended courtship, engagement rings, alimony, etc. with the same purpose; ensuring the genetic fidelity of the male.
...instead of bringing up something unrelated.
Unrelated? I'm sorry, I thought this thread was about "PETA Condemning Pokemon." Some AC drives it offtopic into the land of beef production, trying to imply that we are an evil species, I speak up.
Put up the IR deer cams. Hide them because they will steal them.
In addition get the "Security Package" package for the deer cams. It includes a metal enclosure and locking cable. The worst thing would be to find more trash AND your deer cams gone!
How someone treats another living thing when that living thing is powerless to defend itself is a very good test of the mental wellness of that person.
Anyone who thinks it is "ok" or "cool" to abuse animals needs to be removed from society.
And all you little jerkoffs who think all this is something to joke about need your nuts kicked so hard they come out the top of your little dickeating skulls.

Peta sure is one sided, what about the cells in Vegetables, they have the same rights as humans, what about single celled yeast or atoms!!!!! Those monsters ( Peta ) don't care about them.
I've wondered about this for years. They are actually quite speciesist. They love all the cute, furry animals, but you never hear much from them about saving the Pygmy Hog Sucking Louse (which are just as endangered as those big-eyed baby seals.)
Who says plants want to die being eaten? Those spines and poisons and hard shells tell me they don't.
I think A. Whitney Brown said it best: "I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants."
...Are we a species (one with a culture and morals) that would torture a defenseless creature in a tiny, isolated cage, barely large enough to fit its body, for years on end, milking its body, subjecting it to surgeries and growth chemicals, and denying it socialization and sunlight, only to conclude its life with a live mutilation of its throat, letting it bleed out slowly?
Oh, you mean like the tarantula hawk? "The female tarantula hawk captures, stings, and paralyzes the spider, then either drags her prey back into her own burrow or transports it to a specially prepared nest, where a single egg is laid on the spider’s abdomen, and the entrance is covered. When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider's abdomen, then enters the spider's abdomen and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive."
Look, we all eschew mistreatment of animals...they are NOTHING ALIKE. For one thing, elephants are real and pokemon don't actually fucking exist.
Thank you for saying this. This is like coming out against COD because it kills people, or coming out against GTA because you are stealing real cars.
It doesn't even have a positive PR value because people know Pokemon is a fantasy, and dismiss your argument out of hand. There is an additional diluting value of this kind of goofy campaign, in that any future campaign, even one with a meaningful message, will be dismissed as having come from the same group that had the meaningless message last time.
Think about it - how seriously do take the nut with the "World Is Coming To An End" sign after you've seen him with the same sign, screaming on the same street corner, for ten years? He may be right someday, but he's lost all credibility.
We need a system like DNS which will automatically convert an easier-to-remember text string to your phone number...
That's a great idea! Perhaps there could be groups of 3 letters associated with each number so you could have a easy mnemonic for at least the first couple of digits, perhaps representing the local exchange, like: MUrray Hill 5-9975 --- would be for 685-9975 -or- BALdwin 6828 --- would be for 225-6828
That way you wouldn't have to remember so many numbers...
Could you provide evidence to the neanderthals contraceptive practices and motivation?
Practices: 1. There was the "IUR" (intra-uterine rock) 2. Not waxing their chest (women only) 3. Condoms (made of boar's hide) 4. "Not tonight, I have a headache" (...from you hitting me with that club) 5....and ladies going out on the town with their cock-blocking friend, the Velociraptor.
Motivation: "I don't want to bring a child into a world that's so overcrowded with people. Like, we just saw someone by the watering hole two months ago."
Slashdot Mirror
Obama seems to mostly push things in a better direction.
Huh? trillion dollar deficits EVERY year in office...
Yeah. I don't think he got that deficit from Clinton (who left us with a surplus.)
As I recall, that huge deficit came from Republican, former governor, big businessman Bush.
You remember Bush? The Republican president that wasn't even invited to the Republican National Convention?
Of course times have been tough for Obama. He's still cleaning up after Republican, former governor, big businessman Bush.
Don't worry though... you can vote for Republican, former governor, big businessman Romney. That ought to make things better!
I didnt say they were unauthorized,
Oh.
You didn't say,
He also started a new (unauthorized!) military action...
I'm so sorry. I thought you said,
He also started a new (unauthorized!) military action...
I must have misread that. I'm sorry, Mr. Romney. I guess you never said that.
That was the commercial break.
You LIE!
There were no commercials!
Compared to Mitt Romney's ability to lead by claiming his position has always been what worked...
Romney does a good job of covering all the bases:
http://roboromney.com/
Now, we should remember that Al Gore "invented the Internet", and that Bush thought it was a "series of tubes".
...except of course that Gore never claimed he invented the Internet
...honey is basically bees throwing up for you.
Uh, no.
Honey is a highly refined food bees make themselves. It is not a waste product.
And you can point to the applicable law? Color me doubtful.
Exactly.
There is no law that applies to this situation, which is why they said, "legally we can do nothing about it..."
I agree. The spokesman says "legally we can do nothing about it," but Taiwan is a country, for crying out loud!
There is something called "international law" that applies to acts between countries.
Don't be silly! You can't take this route!
Didn't you see the note on step 21?

You know what they say:
"Once you go Neanderthalensis, you'll never go back-a-lensis!"
(Fine. You find a rhyme for 'Neanderthalensis')
Next time you rhyme 'Neanderthalensis'
Leave that task to an amanuensis,
Or someone who doesn't sit on fences:
They'd just still need to know what your sense is.
Wow!
A "tip-o-the-mod-point" to Ogden Nash here...
Good job.
Could you provide evidence to the neanderthals contraceptive practices and motivation?
Practices: ...and ladies going out on the town with their cock-blocking friend, the Velociraptor.
1. There was the "IUR" (intra-uterine rock)
2. Not waxing their chest (women only)
3. Condoms (made of boar's hide)
4. "Not tonight, I have a headache" (...from you hitting me with that club)
5.
Motivation:
"I don't want to bring a child into a world that's so overcrowded with people.
Like, we just saw someone by the watering hole two months ago."
No *you* lie! Posting on Slashdot and maintaining that you have a wife.
When he says 'wife' he's referring to his "One Million Years B.C." poster of Raquel Welch on the basement wall.
This also explains the 'Neanderthal' fantasy.
Since all my female friends seem to be going dike?
They're doing that 'cause they don't need men on the planet anymore:
Human Sperm from Stem Cells
the argument could be that mixed heritage offers the greatest chance for development.. 'purity' only leads to decay.
Correct.
I believe another word for 'purity' is 'inbreeding.'
Humanity never had successful reproduction with sheep, but I wouldn't go as far as to claim as a result that we've never had sex with sheep.
HEY!
I was just helping it over the fence!
You know what they say:
"Once you go Neanderthalensis, you'll never go back-a-lensis!"
