The fact that cows have best friends and get stressed when they are separated.
According to scientist Krista McLennan, "When heifers have their preferred partner with them, their stress levels in terms of their heart rates are reduced compared with if they were with a random individual."
Similar situation here. I can go without meat but I'm not vegetarian. My mother is and it's nice that she doesn't impose her views on us. My view is "protect animals as long as they're alive and fight cruel slaughtering [like cooking pigs in boiling water alive] but if they're already dead meat there's not much you can do, only respect that they died so you can survive. My family never kills fish for Christmas, since we consider it a holiday of mercy. I have a respect for life and even catch insects and let them out alive outside of my home.
and we are on the top of them all.
and say what ? it would harm you to not eat meat ? panda...
i am for respect of animals.. but don't see them as humans! see humans as animals. (and yes that's completely different)
and above all else.. get your facts straight.
I've been a vegetarian for 13 years and am in excellent health.
They didn't have much of a choice now, did they?!
Dogs are scared of fireworks. They could as well hide under the desks, scared of the noise and fire.
Uh, so they made a decisive decision to walk their owners to safety...righto!
A dog would take the 1st opportunity to get out of there... the fact their owners survived, is because they were ATTACHED to the fucking dogs!
Other species face far more adversities than humans do. For the most part, we create our own. Other animals suffer horribly because of us.
We aren't the most superior, we are just the biggest parasites on Earth.
This is absolutely one of the best posts ever. Thanks for sharing.
