This guy is the truth.
I think this is so so demented. HOW does eating something after you kill it make it justified? Either you can kill it or you cant. If i killed a person and ATE THAT PERSON, is that now better than killing him for no reason? Absolutely not, its even worse. It becomes entirely demented once you eat something that you believe has the right to live and dignity.
And your point's unsound. Its clearly not "the capacity of a a human being to kill something in the manner which she did". There are so so many things that people kill that you wont even flinch over. Ants? Worms? Flies? Plants? I dont see why its ok to step on an ant or swat a fly but its not ok to throw a dog in a river? Is it because theyre bigger? Surely that cant be reason enough to have rights.
Nobody in this thread has made a point. Not one. Its just - well this is obvious. If its so obvious why animals should be treated humanely, then make a point, it should be cake
Are you a moron? Do you even know what unsound means?
people swat flies because they carry disease and land on your food or can bite you and spread the disease...it's an act of self-preservation.
Plain out i'm really surprised and disturbed by some of the posts in this thread. Even if the dogs were on the verge of death or whatever you don't throw them in the river like some trash...

Dude are you serious, cruelty is cruelty. That crap is awful and something should be done. No matter what it is, that is a life-form capable of showing love and affection. It is just as bad as doing this to another human being.

That is beyond cold.
lol ok so when you say an argument is unsound, it means either my premises arent true or my progression from premise to conclusion is incorrect. given that my logic is fine, it has to be that you dont think my premises are true. i was talking about the process of killing bugs intentionally in the same way that this persons killing dogs intentionally. the fact that dogs are socially useful for us in terms of hunting or that they bring entertainment to some people isnt reason so as to why they should be treated humanely. we can still treat them like crap and they will still be useful to us because theyre stupid and animals and have no ability to reason. the fact that they have no real ability to reason is why i think they are so far inferior to us as to justify the torture and killing of them. my argument is as follows:Originally Posted by south sole

i seriously question some of ya'lls upbringing ... are you serious? because you dont think dogs can "reason" they dont deserve to be treated with dignity? or because we can't communicate with dogs, they deserve to be thrown into a river? Get outta here with that %%%# ... everything on this earth that isnt human isnt worth a damn then huh? easy for you to say when you're at the top, but how would you feel if you were a paraplegic or couldnt communicate anymore? do those human beings deserve to be treated with dignity? at what point are older people who depend on others kicked to the side in your world? What about murderers? O but just because they are HUMAN they deserve more than a dog who can lead the blind, comfort the sick, save the helpless, show loyalty until death etc... etc... I'm not suggesting a dog is more important than any just human being, but let's be real ...
There are dogs on this earth who deserve life more than some humans ... point blank, period ... what would you rather have, a yellow lab greet you at the door everyday or osama bin laden chillin in his cave? Simply being human doesnt automatically make you the end all be all on this planet ...
i'm not even one of them tree hugging dudes, but to sit here and say she isn't a disturbed human being because dogs are inferior to humans is idiotic ... she shouldnt be jailed because she killed dogs, she should be jailed because she needs psychiatric evaluation and is a danger to society ... anyone who can willingly throw a puppy in a river and laugh about it like it's a %+*!!## game is disturbed ... anyone who can choke a dog and drown them in water because they lost a dogfight is disturbed ...
to argue that something "inferior" to humans is less entitled to life and therefore is fair game to be used, abused and killed at the will of the "superior" is demented ... to justify psychotic behavior by somehow claiming "superiority" is demented ...
there's a reason why the dog was the first domesticated animal known to mankind ... hunting, guarding, traveling, protecting and everything else including being a loyal friend ...

I’m not trying to justify her actions, what she did was wrong. Should she be fined? Maybe, should she be jailed? No, since dogs aren’t entitled to anything in this country or in her country for that matter. Until dogs have rights you people should stop crying over how many of them die. Even if this girl gets jailed, which set of species gets rights next? Snails, cockroaches, or worms? C’mon son, you’re just desensitized to the fact that they died like that not because you care about their right to live. I bet none of you dudes get mad over people that put dogs to sleep just because they are sick. Who are they to decide that? Wait, I know the answer, humans are able to decide that because dogs are inferior to humans. Having a dog that is your friend that's “always
I think you quite solidly put up an argument to justify your a moron all on your own accord so I thank you for not wasting my time doing so.Originally Posted by Theta

Premise 1: All people are created equally.
Premise 2: An individual should treat equals with respect, dignity and entitle them to life, liberty, property, and safety of self.
Premise 3: Given that people are equal to other people, they deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and are entitled to life, liberty, property, and safety of self.
Premise 4: Dogs are subordinate and inferior to men as they posses a significantly diminished ability to reason.
Premise 5: As a result, dogs are not equal to men.
Conclusion 1: Therefore, dogs do not deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and are not entitled to life, liberty property, or safety of self. [by Premise 2 and 5]
THAT is an argument. So how about you hippie dog lovers stop talking about how 'sorry' you feel for me and how big of a moron I am, and start trying to put an argument together. thats all i ask. Notice how the fact that dogs are mans best friend is not a rational justification for why they have rights. nor is the fact that theyre useful when hunting. The fact that you think I am cold or 'messed up' is not sufficient to show that dogs should be treated with respect. In fact, its called the Ad Hominem fallacy and makes your argument illogical: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem .
but i forgot, im a moron and dont know what unsound means...ironic much haha
