(Anonymous) 2013-03-13 08:57 am (UTC)(link)They make them suffer because it is convinient for them, animals are "biological machines that can't feel physical or psychological pain" so why not use them as hard as we can.
The question is why people shouldn't be allowed to treat other people like shit when humans are allowed to treat animals like shit. Why is the suffering of your own species so much more important to you than the suffering of another. Especially when both parties, the poor people and the innoccent animals, can't change their fate because it relies on someone who is in power over them.
Now my own opinion: I feel horrible for both the animals AND the people. Those women getting forced into prostitution staring back at me made me tear up. But the donkeys having to pull that way too heavy cart (which will one day literally break them and render them dead) made me really sad, too.
I think a person getting forced into inhumane living conditions is slightly worse than a donkey pulling a way too heavy cart, but suffering is suffering. If those donkeys refuse to pull, they will get beaten into submission (often until they fall down and just die because donkeys don't react submissive to force).
Both is horrible when viewed in the right context.
And people pointing out the suffering of the donkeys don't neccessarily shit on the fates of the people. It's just that animal abuse is often excused when your living condition is bad and so it sometimes needs to be pointed out that not only the suffering of people should be important to us, but the suffering of other species as well.
Pointing out something like that doesn't make you a bad person.
You can feel bad for people and still see that animals suffer. Feeling bad for people and feeling bad for animals is not mutually exclusive.
Now if onlookers literally sa: "The donkey is more important to me than the people", then yes, they are scum. But saying something about the donkey while keeping silent about the people isn't always the same.
(Sorry for the bad wording, English isn't my first language)
