Yes, very much so.at comparing killing animals for food to slavery, what a terrible straw argument.
Why do you feel humans are more important than animals?

The food chain doesn't really establish how important one animal is relative to another. The Bible also provides guidelines for how to treat slaves, so I'm not really inclined to accept that as an objective moral code. I'm sure we can all agree that slavery, in any instance, is wrong. So, since none of the points you made were valid, your original claim is invalid.Originally Posted by Scientific Method

Food chain, plus the fact we are smarter than them. I doubt you believe in the J man, but in the Bible they would sacrifice sheep in lieu of people (the whole Abraham kill your son as a sacrifice to me, no wait wait, I was just joking to see if you would do it, that sheep would be fine). I don't know what verse but google it, it's in there.
Humans are more important than animals period. If animals want a better standard of living let them do what humans did and evolve and move to the top of the food chain until then I refuse to lose any sleep over how a chicken is treatedOriginally Posted by So Nyuh Shi Dae

Smartest based on what though? You all keep saying we are the smartest? What are the guidelines?Originally Posted by Ducky Quack
The truth is that we as humans (the smartest and most capable living organisms on this planet)
You're failing to provide any evidence to support your claim. Should I not think twice about the poor? I mean, hey, if they want a better standard of living, they should just do what rich people did and get rich. Ya?Originally Posted by 100PROOF

bro, your statements are just plain stupid/ ignorant. You're acting as if animals had the choice to evolve into a smarter species. And you're saying that humans>*.... and that's coming from a human. Look at the world today, half the problems are caused by humans believing they have to right to do whatever they please.Originally Posted by 100PROOF

But why should we care? Because any decent human being will care about the welfare of other living things, regardless of "their importance on the food chain".

I don't think anyone said they are equal. The claim in question was that humans are more important than animals. Also, the point you're trying to make in this post is not necessarily true.Originally Posted by 100PROOF

So let's have animals run the world then. Oh wait, we can't communicate with them. They can't use the internet because of lack of thumbs and even assuming we use primates who are closest to humans, they'll just piss on everything and throw feces and drink their own pee when they're supposed to be giving speeches.

Again, physical dominance over another creature does not equal more important. That is the point that is trying to be made. Yes we wear them, eat them, and have them as pets. Only because we CAN do it. That does not mean we are smarter (subjective, based on what again? A test created by humans? Right) nor does it mean we are more important to the well being of the circle of life.
Like somone said above, physical dominance doesn't mean the importance of one species.Originally Posted by 100PROOF

You are still basing intelligence on things that humans do. A system in which humans are a part of. What if a squirrel were to tell you that you are inferior to him because you have to spend $ to go out and get food so that you are able to save up for the winter. What if an ant calls you uncivilized because you are unable to live in peace and work as a unit with your fellow humans for the sake of all mankind? What if a lion tells you that you don't have compasion for your brother because humans aren't able to display the teamwork that lions display day in and day out?
Just because they can't use a computer doesn't mean they aren't as intelligent as we are. We do different things than they do. We are basing intelligence off of a human created system.
I think I can do things that humans deem intelligent at a higher rate than a chicken, so if that makes me "smarter" than a chicken ok. But we shouldn't even be judged on the same scale is my point. We are different creatures. We serve different purposes on this planet. Why even compare the intelligence levels? I compare it to NikeTalk's obsession with, "Which Sport has the best athletes" threads that pop up every so often. What are we basing athleticism on? Jumping height? Speed? Strength? Hand-Eye Coordination? Different types of athletes are out there, the same way different types of mental capacities are out there across all living creatures.Originally Posted by 100PROOF

"A test created by humans?"you can not be serious let a chicken make the test up, the day a chicken can beat me in a test is the day i go vegan
