Oh, and I will ad, I have no problem killing insects that will bite us. (self defense and what not) The others I set free lol. |
No, I didn't think you were ok with what happened. I just meant that many people can't even understand why some of us get so upset about this, and not the killing of other animals such as a cow. You asked what is the distinction between a cow and a dog, and I said some people even go further and can't see the difference between a dog and a bug and a cow. I've had friends before who couldn't kill an ant, and literally would have to take them outside the house, and she just didn't understand how I could prioritize animals, and say this one was better than that one, or had more rights. But I can and do prioritize different animals. I've been around cows before, and they really just didn't affect me as something that had much of a personality. The cows I've seen in movies seem to be more alive than the ones I saw in real life. This does not mean I condone the suffering of cows. I just never thought of them like I do a dog. Dogs seem to really look at humans, and interact with them; I never got that same feeling from cows. Like I said before, I believe this is a very personal thing, and I'm not saying my beliefs are the ones everyone should have. I admire those with higher standards than my own. I was just trying to explain what the "distinction was between a cow and a dog" for me.
