Lol. Basically, they are an animal lover, but they only like cute animals. When something like crocodiles, snakes, sharks, and bugs they would like "KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!"

yes, finally. I can agree with this; though I hate certain animals (for a reason), I would never support cruelty to any animal.

True! Animal Lovers should care about ALL animals, not just cats and dogs and rodents and birds and things like that. ALL animals, regardless of how feral or "ugly" they might be.

IKR?!Β I'm sick of people calling themselves "Animal lovers" and still going to the circus and sea parks!Β Why?!Β "BECAUSE CATS AND DOGS AREN'T AFFECTED"Β WAKE UP, PEOPLE!Β THERE ARE MORE ANIMALS THAN CATS AND DOGS!

Agreed. If they love animals, then what do they think the animals they (pay to) kill? Legumes?

There's actually a girl in my school who only cares about her pets, but doesn't give two fucks about animals suffering for her makeup in animal testing, even when she knows what happens to the animals! There's also another girl who says one of her biggest passions is animals, yet she doesn't care about how animals for food are treated!Β

I could never be nice to just my own pets. And to be honest, there were times I did not act fairly with a few of them which I'm not proud of and deeply regret. Yet I don't like rats since our house has had a problem with them before.Β Scary is knowing that they carry diseases like the Black Death. I also have a fear of spiders, sharks, and piranhas.

Being scared of certain species is okay and not the same as abusing them or thinking your pets are more important than other animals.
π: 0 β©: 1
I made mistakes with other pets in my life that I deeply regret and wish I could take back. But all I can do now is hope to never repeat that mistake and show that I have respect and love for other people's pets the same as my own.

THAT'S SO TRUE! It annoys me when "Animal Lovers" only care about cats and dogs. Cows, chickens, and other animals used for meat are animals too!

I really do love animals though. So that means you are not an animal lover.
I may be afraid or not like some animals as much as others but I am an animal lover. (the only animal I HATE and actually do not like is squirells)

You don't have to not be afraid of any animal, as long as you don't abuse them.

In the wild, animals eat other species of animals. Humans are animals, capable of digesting both plants and meat. We can eat meat because other omnivores can. We humans act so high and mighty. I eat poultry and fish, but I do not think that these beings are inferior. Before eating them, I silently thank them for feeding me. However, members of other species should have as wonderful a life as they possibly can. And if they become food, they should have a quick and painless death and should be thanked for their life and death. I treat other living beings with the utmost respect, even in death. Even when I am eating them.
π: 0 β©: 1
That sounds quite contradictory...
π: 0 β©: 1
How so? I only stated a fact (animals eat each other in the wild, and all of them still have feelings, yet they eat each other because that's how the food chain works) and another fact (that it is possible to respect a being that you eat, even in death, by thanking them for feeding you).
π: 0 β©: 1
Putting "respect" and "mercilessly killing" in one sentence is kinda of an oxymoron, you know. It's like saying that respectful murder or kind dogfighting exists. Thanking your victim before brutally killing them and their babies does literally NOTHING for the victim, it just makes you feel better about exploiting and killing them.
And what does artificially breeding billions of genetically engineered animals a year while causing the worst environmental disaster for taste preference has to do with the food chain anyway? The food chain is about balance in nature. Destroying the environment for profit or pleasure has nothing to do with that. And neither does comparing human greed to an obligate carnivore like a lion putting his own life on the line to survive because he can't digest vegetation.

No no no, I do not support factory farming. And how is "eating only humanely killed fish and poultry" the same thing as "mercilessly killing?"
Like I said, other animals eat meat. Do you think that they're bad too?

And how is "eating only humanely killed fish and poultry" the same thing as "mercilessly killing?"
Humanely killing? Please listen to yourself. That's an oxymoron. The standard legal form of slaughter for animals is for them to be "stunned" and then have their throats slit. For chickens and pigs, the stunning is generally done with an electric shock, and for other animals a pneumatic bolt pistol projects a metal rod into their forehead. It is claimed that this renders the animal 100% unconscious, but if you actually look into the facts, slaughterhouse workers will admit that there is no way to verify that this is the case for every single animal, and indeed the process doesn't always work, isn't followed routinely, and indeed, the "stun" can wear off while the animal is being killed. But regardless of the fashion of execution, there isn't a justification for taking the life. It is still taking the life of a sentient being, for your enjoyment ultimately. If somebody killed your companion animal, I doubt you'd say "that's fine because you did it humanely" as described above.
Like I said, other animals eat meat.
Most of them don't. But aside from that... Wild animals kill to survive. They must kill to eat, otherwise they would die. Whether they kill on instinct or are aware of their predicament is irrelevant, we are not in their situation. If you live in modern society and have access to crops, vegetables, fruit, grains etc, then you have no obligation or need for animal products. Also, lions exhibit all kinds of behaviour that you would seek to avoid, for instance, violent territorial disputes, and male lions will kill the cubs of a female he wishes to mate with because she won't mate while she has cubs around. Lions or other obligate carnivores are not good ethical role models. Last but not least: breeding billions genetically engineered of animals only to slit their throats for the sake of taste preference while being the leading cause of deforestation, pollution, starvation and environmental destruction has literally nothing to do with wild animals hunting for survival/keeping the balance in nature.

OMG Thank you. I HATE when people say say things like "I love animals! But I hate...." And start listing animals they dont like. Its so annoying.

I love all animals, even hyenas, coyotes and rats.

I love my pets but I love other people's pets and wild animals too (unless they attack me for no reason, I've been chased by a vicious dog that escaped their owner's house. X3)

I may be afraid of some animals and not like them as much as my favorites but that doesn't mean I won't help them. My mom wants to kill the pigeons nesting in my house roofs' cracks and Im like can we just move them, not kill em? They do carry lots of illnesses I know but still..they have family and lives.

I Love all animals! I'd even try to save a wild rat if someone was trying to kill it, or if one was in my house, I'd move it outside, and not kill it. Even though people are like "Eww but deh kill peeps! and carry diseases!" Well, they might bite you, and carry diseases, but its not their fault! People should realize that these little creatures have families of their own, they go through just as much as homeless people do. People see them as pests who live an easy life taking food from people, But its not true, and people would do the same with animals if they were in the rats' place.
Sometimes though, saving an animal is just harming it even more. I mean, the white tigers, people are like "ooh its sooo coolz!!11" and "We have 2 save it!" but these animals have only one way to live: Live in pain with serious medical problems, and lay there all day with people snapping camera's at it. Not fun.

I do my best to extend kindness towards any animal. Heck, I even pick up spiders and put them outside. Lots of people find them icky, but they seldom realize the ecological importance of them. Besides, it irks me when someone's reasoning for killing spiders (or any animal, really) fall into the superficial reasoning that the creature deserves to die for offending their aesthetic tastes.Β

Yeah, mom and I always crawl around to save insects and geckos during vacuum cleaning.

i like to care for animals other than my pets.
i look after my school chickens, and me and my mother areΒ
against battery farming. its such a shame to see such lovely animals like cows, chickens and pigs
having to suffer. and although im against animal abuse to dogs/cats, people seem to only
help them and not any other creature, eg: sharks,chickens...

Good! I hate those people who whine about pets being treated cruelly and being killed, but ignoring cows and chickens and pigs under "we'll cats and dogs r pets, cows n chickens r animals!"
No you know what, chickens have the IQ of a 2year old, and at McDonald's, they only live 6 months before being killed for food. Or the cows that are slaughtered. God, I eat meat and hunt, but way to be a douche about liking animals.
Oh and there's the fact that people care about the wolves population more than animals like Amur leopards and tigers! Only 38 Amur leopards left everywhere!! And only 400 Amur tigers! And these stupid wolves are getting "saved"!

there is a difference from prey animals
and predator animals.
humans are predator animals
Chickens,cows,sheeps etc are prey animals
im not saying i don't like prey animals some are cool but
SURVIVAL!~
π: 0 β©: 2
I know.
Humans aren't always predators though. With ever animal, there are two possibilities. In my opinion, one can always become the other in an instant.
Just because they're prey animals doesn't mean they shouldn't be held to the same rank as any other animals. Which was my point. You seem to have missed it.

:I i just said so because i am one of those people who love to eat meat.

Yeah. But how is meat relevant in this.?

hey you brought it up by that rant.

Also, having a low IQ does not mean you are not intelligent. I thought chickens were stupid animals too, until I got some, and now I have discovered that they have amazing ways of communicating and are very social animals. They have a peep for everything, if they are hungry, if they are frightened, if they realize that they are all alone and need to find the flock, etc. They can even be classically conditioned, though I would argue that every mammal can be, even humans are.
See there is animal rights, animal welfare, and the downright ignorant and stupid, which is what I find most on this site, unfortunately, and a lot of the users aren't even children which I think is pretty funny considering they say children are stupid, I've found the contrary. Anyway, I prefer animal welfare.
TLDR: [link]
Animal rights is: Absolutely no death, even if you humanely take a life it is taking a life and it is a horrible and disgusting act. I believe having pets is like putting them into a prison, there is no way to keep an exotic animal, zoos should be abolished, etc.
Animal welfare is: There are right and wrong ways to kill an animal, I believe they should be killed as humanely as possible, and everyone should have the right to eat whatever they want as long as it is done in a humane and ethical manner. I acknowledge that animals have emotions and are capable of feeling pain, this is why it is important to take care of them properly and kill them properly. It is ignorant and naive to say all animals raised and slaughtered for food products as well as clothing products (in the case of fur) are raised and killed in horrible conditions and ways, because in order to produce a quality product and increase productivity, one must raise and kill in a correct manner. I know that domesticated animals would not survive in the wild (or do the opposite, flourish and destroy the land) and we depend on them, especially when it comes to food. Getting rid of them completely or only having wild populations of domestic animals is ridiculous and harmful for them. There are particular individuals who know how to properly keep and care for exotic animals, this includes zoos. As long as they are properly taken care of, have proper containment and mental stimulation, I see no problem with exotic pets or zoos. Etc.
Downright ignorant/stupid: Animals are slaughtered in cruel ways but I don't care 'cuz I like mah meat. Animals are stupid and they scream when you hit them because of a reflex, not because they are in pain, stupid. LOL pets are awsm. People who keep exotic pets are freaking crazy but cool at the same time. I wish I could have a pet (fill in the blank) because they're so friggen awesome/cute/pretty.

You argument is speciesist. Many wolf activists care about other species too, but the fact is if you are a wolf activist, you focus on wolves, yes, but not all ONLY focus on wolves, thinking that they/we do is ignorant of you (which is nothing new, really). If there is an organization trying to protect wolves, they are not going to talk about amur leopards, tigers, rhinos, etc. Because that is not what their foundation is about. If your favorite animal is the wolf and you discover they need protection, this is just the beginning of your adventure into conservation.
Grey wolves DO still need protection and to be "saved", Idaho has 150 wolves right now, or at least this is all we can assume because they have killed approximately 500 in two years without doing a population count. I do not know about other states but I know it is bad there too, Yellowstone is even struggling to keep up research because their wolves are being killed too. [link] I've heard their tourism has also suffered, but I don't know if that is true, just a rumor.
You are in the same category as the people who say "Why do you care so much about animals when there are people dying of cancer?" This is speciesism. Educate yourself, learn compassion, and stop being selfish.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but wolves are only LOCALLY endangered in Idaho. If that small population dies out, There will be thousands of other gray wolves elsewhere. That's just bending the facts to suit you.
Yellowstones wolves are also not native so
What do you mean "learn compassion" "stop being selfish"
You 1) Don't know me, so you saying that is an arrogant assumption about someone you know NOTHING about. 2) I literally just said that there are animals that need MORE help, that aren't getting it because they aren't popular.
also, Speciesist isn't a word. Please, enlighten me with your infinate pool of holy wisdom. How is seeing domestic and non-domestic animals as equals "speciesism"? How is donating money to WWF to species on the literal brink of extiction speciesism? Fact is, SOME ANIMALS NEED MORE HELP THAN OTHERS.
Fact is hun, Never asked for your opinion. Don't like mine then you shouldn't have replyied all insulting and arrogant. Your opinion is no better than mine, And I am not "speciesist"
