  1. Intelligence should never be what determines your treatment of a being to begin with. ethical consideration is based on the capacity to feel pain (sentience) not intelligence, Which Happens to be why intelligent people aren't automatically ethically superior to less intelligent people Turkeys and other vertebrates, as well as octopi and such are all sentient

  2. giving money to people who sell them for food incentivises more breeding of them for food. Its just how buying a chicken from a meat farm incentivises the meat industry by giving them more money to invest in expanding the business

  3. coat colors dont impact personality. only breeds do imagine stereotyping people as having some kind of set personality based on hair color Familiar?

  4.  @a.u.7695  "types of cats" I already wrote that breeds do impact it but not coat color. Siamese have loud, nasal, long and weird meows and are vocal eg. Why is this little needed correction so triggering I cant lol

  5.  @MitchellBahamas  most of the "poor snakes" are generally bred and kept in captivity needlessly. So yes, they are not given a say either, its just humans doing stupid human stuff.

  6.  @oshochso  in what way is being tortoiseshell or calico a "defect" lolz

  7.  @richardkleinberger7031  yet you go to the shop every day and pay for more animals to be kept in even worse conditions than this poor ram, when you buy meat, eggs, and milk. Food for thought.

  8. all animals except parasites

  9. To make milk you impregnate a female cow and then after the baby calf is born, you murder it, If it's male, to take the milk for yourself instead. If it's female the process repeats. I don't think that can be kind ever really. Now I'm not a vegan, I just reduce my consumption of animal product as much as i can, But that's the reality

  12.  @carmelmulroy6459  smarts arent what causes the capacity to feel pain. A below average intelligence and above average intelligence individual both feel pain

  13.  @Marie-cp6ue  buying dogs from breeders while perfectly good dogs are homeless and being killed because they are an "excess" is categorically wrong as is. Yes, it is

  14.  @oshochso  I know very well what causes tortoiseshell pattern as Im a biology undergrad. It is caused by X chromosomal inactivation. It is not any kind of coat color "defect".

  15.  @oshochso  Also, if you are that smug about this yet dont understand it, which is highschool level biology (4th grade, genetics), I feel really sad for your country's education system This is not something you should need to google you should know it if you finished HS biology

  17. and theres a special place in hell for those who raise animals for torturous existence and then slaughter, to make products out of their body parts, to steal milk meant for little calves that are slaughtered upon birth, and those who pay for someone else to do that to an animal. You know, like. buying meat/milk/eggs in the store.

  20. Don't kiss your pets in the mouth it's extremely unsanitary and can occasionally lead to your face necrotising

  21. since humans are just an animal too, this is an obvious reality that manages to escape most people's big minds

  23.  @KappaKiller108  I am saying that the demand for raising and killing rats needlessly for food is artificially and needlessly created, by needlessly breeding pet snakes. Whether the animal raised as food is cute or a naked ugly rat doesnt matter in the slightest, what matters is sentience. Im not a specieist or lookisz, i dont trat fluffy cute pet dogs as morally above a deformed looking "ugly" farm pig, thats something that rather applies more to the average person and likely yourself too. So, If you already have a snake then you should feed it, but you should then not breed another snake that will have the same needs necessitating needless violence. Dont create issues needlessly, dont manufacture demand for violence. Same logic as dont create wars. Trying to justify breeding rats as pet snake food, is the same moral paradigm as trying to justify breeding dogs or children for food just because some creature x you bought as pet eats dog/human flesh as primary food. Stop breeding and keeping such animals as pets dammit. "My needlessly bred dog/human eating pet needs dog/human flesh so actually breeding dog/human meat is ok" "are you saying that I shouldnt feed my exotic carnivore dogs bred for food,should i let it die?" I am saying, stop breeding animals with such needs tbw, cut the needless demand for violence. Im not sure how this simple logic is so hard to understand, but hopefully this clears it up. edit; typo

  24. how about farm animals? no love and what they need for them, only torment and slaughter. Im not even vegan, but it never ceases to amaze me how people can be so hypocrtical and selective in how they apply morality.
