    God this is a weird thread.

    How come human laws don’t apply to animals?

    Sorry to break it to you kids but billions of people all over the world literally eat animals every day.

    Barbaric ? Perhaps, but it’s fair to assume that 100% of your ancestors in the last 100,000 years have delighted in this activity as often as possible.

    You may not wish to acknowledge this but the reality is: your beloved dog or cat is a lesser being, assigned very few rights.

    Obviously if you have a pet dog then you treat that dog differently as you would a chicken living in a cage in a shed with 10,000 other chickens in cages but that dog’s right to life is merely an extension of your rights as that dog’s owner.
