  1. Grim Reaper Let me put this in another way. In a nervous system/social view, we are different from animals. In a biological sense, we are animals.

  2. Grim Reaper Hate to break it to you honey, but humans ARE animals. Animals are defined as a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli. Guess what? Humans fit that catagory.

  3. Grim Reaper And you would be wrong. Because we fall into the dictionary definition of an animal, a definition that I provided for you. You can argue all you want, but we are primates. If you learned in middle school that humans are not animals, your middle school teacher is either severely misinformed or severely stupid.

  4. KeusFrench Its not cultural appropriation. Man has been burying their dead like this for thousands of years. It's not specific to a culture. Some just practice it more than others.

  5. FeedMe Explain to me how a dead body is unsanitary. Bacteria aren't necessarily bad, and harmful bacteria cannot survive in a dead body. In all honesty, unless the body had a communicable disease, it's safer than a living body.

  6. Tineke No, I think it was more just in how it was worded. You seem like your trying to guilt people. I'm vegan, and I try not to use emotion when discussing it. Presenting evidence is better than making someone feel bad.
