Animals have so many techniques to survive that we couldn't even dream about. Humans are just slowly destroying the world.

I'm guessing you don't see many animals, or have ever even tried to communicate. They speak in their own ways- pets regard humans as subservient, the wild regard humans as dislocated freaks. Only those halfway inbetween make any attempts at communication to humans, other than warnings or orders.

You don't understand them, and probably never will.

I've seen their conciousness. Don't tell me that they have none.

They communicate, they have emotions, they care.

Humans are animals, you're not religious- so why do you think we're so much better than they are?

You're the delusional one. You're saying that they're non sentient, and that they're not even 'others' are they just items to you? Things to be used and abused?

Lions enjoy the kill. It's their fun- the chase, the excitement, et.c. I don't pretend to understand, but those lions in zoos really sulk.

So we are now intelligent enough to understand the suffering of others, and to lessen our impact on their pain. And I don't think lions would factory farm zebras- it would cause them to die of boredom, maybe the weak or old ones would, though... so they'd de-evolve, like us, into weak lemons, playing 'catch the zebra' computer games and painting their claws.

Lions do not factory farm zebras (for the x00th time), and that is the only way a lion can live- we have options.

And meat goes off so quickly, so so much is wasted. Alot of meat is chucked because of fear of bacterial diseases.

Evil bastard.

And that's the first time I've ever swore at someone online- thus demonstrating my opinions of your stupid ignorant viewpoint.

Not true, we breed the animals we kill. Only fish are killed wild.

I LOVE mushrooms, with herbs, or in a risotto...

There are so many alternatives to meat

Quinoa burgers

Soya mince burgers

Soya mince in soup

And they are all delicious
