In addition, animals do not experience pain like humans do.
And your sources for this statement are?????
You can say I originated it, if you want to.
Knowledge of animals and their limitations are the factors.
They do not think, they have no logic, no reasoning, no analytical
ability, do not worry or arrive at decisions.
Everything they do is either instinctive or a learned action.
Some fail to have even those two charactistics.
You can whip a dog, beat him until you feel bad about it.
What does he do? Instead of running, he comes crawling to you on his belly.
At least he better, for if he runs, I kill him. A dog can make lots of
mistakes, but if he runs from me and continues to do so, his days are
numbered.
Look at the intelligence of a horse. You can feed him, be nice to him all
his life. Instead of him being thankful and loving, he will bite you,
kick you, and possibly kill you, all for no reason.
Fish, ....... someone mentioned pain and suffering of fish.
I won't tell you how they think and reason. Only fisherman understand that.
Actually, the statement I made has been common knowledge for hundreds of years.
Animals were put here to be servants and food for humans.
The fact that they can sometimes be loving companions is a
byproduct and not the original purpose.
