omygosh! I was worried, and then the helping trunk came

[OceanicLyfe]

Success tastes sweet. :D

[Hobgoro]

How can poachers kill such innocent wonderfull creatures?

[eurasianchica]

@Hobgoro Well, I guess if you have to choose between saving the endangered species and feeding your kids for the next year, "innocent" and "wonderful" sound a lot less convincing.

[Hobgoro]

@eurasianchica It's pretty selfish to wipe an entire species of animal off the planet just because some people have children they can barely afford to keep alive.

[eurasianchica]

@Hobgoro so you think that an elephant is worth more than a child?

[sammelina12]

@eurasianchica animals lives are equivalent to humans lives......how dare you ask a question like that......

[eurasianchica]

@sammelina12 So I guess you would never eat meat or own a pet then?

[sammelina12]

@eurasianchica Owning pets are different. Many animals are domesticated and it would be unfair to put them in the wild since they have no knowledge of living on their own in the wild.

[eurasianchica]

@sammelina12 Never slap a mosquito or tread on a cockroach?

[sammelina12]

@eurasianchica I eat meat for health reasons, actually...And yeah of course I've slapped mosquitoes - but when it comes to the equality of human and animals lives, they are equal.

[Hobgoro]

@eurasianchica Yes when it comes down to the fact that elephants are numbered in their thousands I believe in the wild and humans tip the scale at over 6 billion.

I think it's safe to say the life of one human is not equal to or greater than the life of one elephant. Human life is not the most important form of life on this planet and if things don't change than elephants won't even be around anymore, or tigers, or panthers and many many other species. Humans are here to stay.

So yes, I do

[giovannasos]

@eurasianchica

I think you can not compare both as you would be bias. I think both lives are precious. If you were an elephant, you would say your baby elephant is of more value than a human child so you think a human child is of more value because is a human like you but in reality, none has more value than the other one. That is just your human stupidity. You love the body parts and not the being that occupies the body. A human would kill u, rob you and an animal would do you no harm

[eurasianchica]

@giovannasos Animals kill people too. Of course they do not have complex reasoning like humans so they can't make moral decisions or understand morality. They cannot choose between right and wrong. Also, it's not "bias", it's the truth. Just because there is another viewpoint doesn't mean that morality (such as human life being greater than elephant) is relative. For example if you were an Aztec it would be ok to disembowel and sacrifice POWs, but doesn't mean it is right.

[ninjaaspring]

@eurasianchica

...So let me get this straight. You are saying that "it's the truth" that a human child's life is more important than a baby elephant and that a mother elephant's viewpoint that her calf's life is more important than a human baby's life "is not right"?

...I am rendered speechless.

[giovannasos]

@eurasianchica

animals kill people because they do not have reasoning skills such humans. If i see a dog and an apple. I am going to eat the apple because I am not a savage human who wants to kill when isn't necessary. You are a savage idiot that does not know the difference. Humans and animals are the same,we are all equal. That crap about animals being superior was created and made up by humans and nothing else. You are really that stupid who can not even realize that. Fuck you are so stupid

[eurasianchica]

@giovannasos If you don't believe in any real right and wrong, and that all viewpoints are equally correct, then you can't argue anything because my viewpoint must be equally as accurate as yours, and neither of us is right or wrong. :) 

[giovannasos]

@eurasianchica

YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT. Humans have the reasoning of differentiatin between what is right and what is wrong. Animals don't, they are innocent. They do not have the ability to do that, so what they do is without knowing like a baby human. An adult maybe likes to have sex with his sister but he knows is wrong so he stops it and does not do it. A dog would have sex because he does not know about the consequences of mating with a close family member.

[IdaMiaDot]

@giovannasos Lots of animals have some basic senses of morality due to the evolution of empathy. Herbivorous animals in particular are often very empathic and caring to both members of their own species and that of others. Bonobos are generally nicer and less malicious than humans, for example. Humans can be very malicious great ape, but have the capacity to learn morality through education.

[TurkishFoodIsYummy]

@eurasianchica

No, you moron. Any opinion that is not based on factual knowledge cannot be right or accurate. What she stated are facts. An animal functions on "reflexive mode"; it's purely instinctual. A human being, however, functions on both reflexive and "reflective mode", meaning a human-being has the mental and emotional capacity to fight against his instincts and is expected to calculate the consequences of his actions, which is why we have jails, and they do not.

[eurasianchica]

@TurkishFoodIsYummy Remember, ad hominem remarks do nothing to further your argument. The person I was talking to had no more factual evidence than I did, but that person also stated that all viewpoints are equal. I'm quite busy these days with my work so I won't be responding to any more replies, but thank you for taking interest in my debate.
