a cow is not a companion animal. A dog is. Dogs and cats have more rights in my opinion..they are companion animals. Cows are food animals. That doesn't mean I think they should be abused. As I said, I don't like the way many of them are treated either. But I think it's rediculous to think humans shouldn't eat cows or drink their milk.

What about wild animals? Where do they stand along your continuum? I guess I don't understand how one group of animals has "more rights" than another. Do certain people also have more rights than others too? I guess that's how I view this kind of thinking. As far as it being "ridiculous" to not eat meat, that's your opinion. Some of us ridiculous non-meat eaters might disagree with you.

| I also am a bit confused by the "ranking" of who is more deserving of compassion. How and what a person decides to eat is certainly their decision to make. I do wish we would inform ourselves about what we are consuming, so we are making conscious decisions. No living creature deserves to be treated cruelly and without respect, and I believe we should be mindful and appreciative of the life that was taken/given so it could be eaten. I personally find it appalling at how much is discarded and wasted!! juliet |

I also think it's kindof irrational to ask if certain people have more rights than others just because one thinks some animals should have more rights than others. Again, animals do not equal people. I think all living things should be treated well and not abused, and again...I don't always agree with the way cows are treated, but I have NO problems eating a cow or drinking its milk.
