You think the concept of slavery should only be restricted to humans?

We aren't so kind to the other species. We're not even that kind to our own species.
I think ideally, we could be more ethical to how we treat pigs, cows, chickens, like allowing them to live on free-range farms and things, but this is far off from our age.
Perhaps we may find a solution that doesn't require us to hold these creatures captive.

If aliens much smarter than us invaded earth and locked us in camps, fed us until we were big enough then slaughtered and ate us..would that be considered slavery? Well it's just the same thing..but by god do I love bacon 🐷😚

well.. i guess in a few years we will be able to fully synthesize proteins into meat.. but that opens up a whole new barrle of ethical questions

Exactly.Humans treat the other animals like the whole planet belongs to them exclusively,which is very wrong.They deserve equal space and rights like us.

Venus... the food chain sustains human life. We eat animals and have for ions. Maybe YOU need a dose of reality. Mmmm smell that bacon? Yum.

Lol I don't know but once a coworker attempted to say they were treated like a slave.

Number one, you chose to work here, number two you are getting paid, number three, you get to leave.

I completely misunderstood the question and deleted it..😱

I totally agree with you

I'm in the bacon camp. Yum.

Animals are objects put here for the benefit of humans. I throw away the bones because I cannot properly eat them, along with the meat I dislike the taste of. For the tables to be turned, animals such as pigs and cows would have to elevate themselves and become superior to humans, round them up, breed, and turn them into food. Being as animals are inferior to humans, good luck with that fantasy. I see you have also devolved into spewing insults and patronizing.

@Nimeru1998 No there's not enough food on the planet for everyone to go vegan. Worldwide potato production is much less than meat production.

making killing animals more humane makes meat more expensive, turning it into a luxury. if anything we need less luxury and make good more avaiable to everyone.

sure it is a bad thing but you are trying to solve the problem from the wrong end

Another clone- it's more about the captive thing and the way they are treated when they are in it

so its not the killing and eating but just the captivity thing ? animal husbandry is one of the most defining civilization aspects of humanity. without it we never would have gotten where we are now.

Zaxel- lol, it sounds very futuristic.

Jaggedlittlepill:While I know it is the food chain for ecological Balance(only a portion),I don't understand the other ways they use these animals.
Cosmetics,Personal care products,medical research,Household products.
Certainly no one has that right for experimenting other innocent lives.
Time for you to get Real.

Good luck to you too

Also, thank you for your permission to continue doing something that is a freedom and privilege of mine, as I am able to hunt and/or buy whatever animal meat I want to consume. Not sure what I would ever do without your permission.

Mmmm bacon

I'm not jumping to any conclusions. You said it yourself, questioning if they are humans and comparing them to animals. "They are still Human huh? But they are not nearly as smart as you and I. They have about the same capacity of an animal to do things." Humans are animals, but we are above the other animals. Humans are superior to all other animals. Again, they were put here for the benefit of humans.

@SouthernBoxer of course every sane person would save the person instead of the pigs because as humans we should (and do) care about fellow humans first. And yes, we're all different. But it doesn't mean we have to be cruel towards anything that is different or that is not as smart as we are.

EvilEmely- if people didn't enslave people we wouldn't be where we are now, still it's wrong.

@evilemily,
you're right...I guess its now a question of what we should do now. Do we want to continue pursuing socially liberal agendas or keep surviving on this current food source.

No

I much prefer the flavor of wild humans.

It's not that I cannot handle it, if I couldn't handle it I would have deleted all your comments. You know your last comment was only to upset people, it didn't upset me btw but it really had no need for such comment.

it makes a whole different meaning... before you start worrying about the rights of cows there are far more important things we need to work out as mankind.

Have. I have the freedom. While certain people try to censor and delete things from history because it goes against their agenda or trying to get rid of that right.

@nimeru do you blame a lion for killing an antilope in a most gruesome possible way and eating it ?

Exactly, which is an incongruous comparison. It does not make sense. Also, where did I say, "Humans were put here?"

I think it would be very lovely if we all moved one after arguing for so long, so we can show that we are civilized human beings

You are free to think as you want, but the fact is that animals are here for the benefit of humans. Farm raised pigs and cows are much better off that wild ones. They are fed, given a place to survive, rather than wandering for food, possibly starving or dying a slow and painful death. SO maybe that is what you want, the actual suffering of animals. lmao Either way, I am gonna enjoy the deliciousness of a juicy burger or some crispy bacon.

Hahahahahahaha, Nimeru1998 is no longer a member of SimilarWorlds. LMAOOOO

yeah we could also upload our consciousness into a computer and become AI and wipe out all these miserable bio life forms

Animals are here for our benefit. Nutrition and labor. Modern technology allows us to use animals less for labor, however. Perhaps you should look up the definition of "slave".

Jagged- actually had to google that, it's something I didn't know about before

@jagged. LOL. Twat waffles? That was great!

So why are you telling me what to do by saying that I shouldn't tell you what to do?

I have the freedom to say as I want. Who do you think you are to try and stop me?

@evilemily,
we could also genetically modify humans to become completely herbivores and make broccoli very tasty to our buds

All life is not equal from species to species. To save a truck full of pigs rather than a single person is foolish and ignorant. Equality is a myth. People have different skills. Some people are better at things than others. Animals are not equal to humans. Until pigs actually invent their own airplane and fly, they are not even close to equal. Also, I know exactly how some animals are treated. They are animals. If it was humans, it would be different.

@carlmarcus,
lol , they're already doing gene splicing and all that other crazy stuff with test animals. they had a rat mixed with cow udders. it was insane lol

@evilemily,
yeah that too, and infinite life ftw

Oooo, looks like my pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage pizza is here.

just because you could do somethign doesnt mean you should

You said it yourself. You condemned yourself. "They are still Human huh? But they are not nearly as smart as you and I. They have about the same capacity of an animal to do things." Once more, you try to twist my words and fail to create a proper comparison. I am not saying a certain type of human is superior to a different type of human. I said humans are superior to animals. Did you comprehend it that time?

Because you are the one that tried to tell me what to do in the first place. We can keep this up if you want. I'll run mental circles around you just like Boxer did to 2 of you.

OK, I'm sorry. I just didn't find it right for you to make fun of him the way you did.

@Venuscalling...it is called a food chain. Cycle of life ...nature. Before us it was cavemen and Native Americans..who all hunted the animals for food..clothing..warmth and shelter. Get real.

S. Boxer-only asked you that because you said "humans were put here"

we still enslaving people.. its not a thing from the past... the very fact you type this on a computer means you are profitting from child slavery.
