spuriousmonkey,
Are you trying to make my point clearer or are you being sarcastic?

If that was true then fine. However I don't believe that it is true.Originally posted by spuriousmonkey
my opinion remains that I don't really need a higher moral excuse to use animals, because I have low moral standards and don't see anything wrong in it. Hence I don't have to invent fancy reasons to validate my use of animals for science

I thought I was suggesting that the possibility exists that slavery actually caused extra deaths than that it caused extra lives. Hence your analogy might not have been the best one. Which doesn't mean that your point is not valid of course!

Most domestic animals could not survive in the wild, most dogs would die in under a week in a forest left alone! Its just like saying how could we allow people to breed that are of inferior stalk! :bugeye:

I don't understand. Do you believe that every organism is equal?

You need to place value on things to make important decisions, who would you save if a dog was drowing and an old woman? without value it wouldn't matter because both are equal.

Just as you would rather kill the human because humans can reason, you should rather save a human because they can express love, empathy etc.
Doesn't Nature approve of the strongest species surviving while the weakers ones die.

Even though there are people that can over come there genetic greed and see the truth, they can never do anything about it because of nature royal law, making it only the greedy that come first.

I try and use nature as an example for my life and values.
I try and witness the way nature works and assign my morals accordingly.
I try and be as selfless as possible and aim to work towards the good of nature rather than mankind.
