Re: To dayglo or anyone else following this argument
U seem to be obsessed with this whole argument of animals not having as much feelings as humans. I think u mean comprehension and feelings. I'm sure a cow feels sorrow when its calf is taken away just like a woman would if her baby was, just that the cow may not know what is to happen to her calf. And if the cow were slaughtered, I'm sure its feelings would be much the same as if you were about to be killed.
Haven't u seen ants start speeding up when your foot land millimeters away from them and run in the opposite direction? What would you do if a giant alien stomped its foot meters away from you? Run towards it? I'm guessing that your reaction would be much the same as the ants.
How the hell do u know that a chicken gets mad because of instinct? you don't, so don't use that argument and I won't refer to plants at all... remember the title of this thread 'Is it wrong to kill animals?'
Using ur logic: A baby cannot feel they ways I do and there's empirical evidence to support this. According to you, that makes me superior, so its ok to kill it and eat it.
Teachers are suprior to students, they are smarter. They don't use this knowledge to exploit us, they do the sensible thing and use it for the betterment of those who are less fortunate. Why can't this be the case with animals?
I feel truly sorry for those that so passionately believe that humans are so superior to other life. We are so reliant on others and other things. If every computer in the world were to stop working, if all the farms of earth were to fail, we wouldn't be the most superior species on earth, we'd be the most fucked species on earth.

I'm sorry i'm not convinced a cow realizes what happens to her babe when farmer Joe takes it and it never comes back. I believe animals feel certain emotions, but not or no where near the full range of emotions people feel. Just like your not conviced grass doens't have the emotions necessary to be terrifyied of lawnmowers. Where does one draw the line? What about insects? if i step on an ant does the one beside it get pissed or scared? Do chickens get mad when you take their eggs because you've taken one of their precious babies or is it instinct to guard the nest? I thoroughly believe the latter.
People are at the top of the food chain becuase we smarter than other animals. Exercise your privelidge, eat all things under you.
