Re: Why don't reptile owners get along with animal rights groups?

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I think you're just looking to pick a fight. I've been vegetarian for 20+ years, and I keep hens. My oldest hen died at 16 and used to sleep on the couch next to the dog. But I have way more issue with people eating pigs than chickens or even dogs. Dogs are geat, I love them. Chickens can be hilarious to watch and cute as fuck. But they're not smart like pigs, parrots, apes, whales, and some cephalopods (no one should be allowed to eat some species of octopi even though they literally make thousands of eggs). I know the argument is that everything that can feel pain should be off the table. And I personally try to live that. I just don't get to make that choice for everyone.

I'm not looking to pick a fight, I believe in what I said wholeheartedly. I think the world would be so much better if people weren't always thinking about what they could get out of others.

I feel a similar annoyance towards people who have their own biological children instead of adopting. There's a reason why if you ask a parent why they chose to have a child, they'll always start off their response with "I wanted". It's a selfish choice. They want someone who will love them unconditionally, someone who will work for them, someone who will take care of them when they get old. It's always "me me me". It's impossible to have a child for the child's sake.

I feel similarly about domestication. Domestication is about messing with the genetics of a being, making them less able to survive on their own, so that humans can use them. Dogs and cats are pretty much the only examples of animals that likely choose to live alongside humans of their own free will. But even then there is a lot about how humans keep them these days that is greatly concerning.

I'm not against keeping animals if they're adopted. Adoption helps homeless animals with nowhere else to go. But breeding them, especially when there are so many homeless animals out there, is creating these beings who are utterly dependent on us, simply because we want a friend who won't go away, or we want someone to work for us, or give us something. I can't think of a single reason why people breed animals that isn't motivated by our own self interest. Domestic animals are not like wild animals that are in danger of extinction, which is the only reasonable excuse for breeding animals in a controlled setting.

And yeah, I don't get to make that choice for everyone, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna shut up about it. Someone has to speak up for animals since, by and large, no one cares what they think.
