Thomas_MoreParticipant
I agree that the pet industry’s disappearance would be a good thing, as speciesism declines following the socialist revolution.
However, aren’t you forgetting (?) that dogs, humans and cats are animals who have gravitated together since prehistory, especially the first two.I have been researching incidents in history that show the powerful love of dogs for their human friends, and innumerable cases abound that show the same between other animals and humans, and between other species without humans.
Why should the fading of the pet-keeping phenomenon, and the disappearance of exploitative relationships rule out any relationship between humans and members of other species, without ownership and exploitation?
Relationships with other humans will be freed from the ugliness, competitiveness and bullying of today, but even so: would you really want no sharing and no friendship with other fellow animals?
Thomas_MoreParticipantHumans are killing more than that every day.
What do you propose we do with the cats?
Domesticated cats have been pets since Ancient Egypt.Thomas_MoreParticipantThomas_MoreParticipantAnother Greenwald article on animal abuse. In this article the way in which those who expose or condemn animal abuse are punished is discussrd.
Thomas_MoreParticipantAnother good article on the piglets.
Thomas_MoreParticipantAn article of an undercover investigation of the culling of pigs during COVID. They were basically roasted to death in their barns.

Thomas_MoreParticipantI wish I could be that thick-skinned.
Thomas_MoreParticipantThomas_MoreParticipantDoubt we’ll see next Xmas.
Thomas_MoreParticipantThomas_MoreParticipantPutin might feel it necessary to invade Finland to stop it entering NATO. A NATO Finland would be able to host US nuclear missiles.
Thomas_MoreParticipantAnd it goes on, every day, the language which reveals human hatred for other animals and the human need to castigate and liken other animals to the human behaviour which reveals humans at their worst:
“It’s ANIMAL behaviour!” (The actions of Israeli troops).
“They’re not humans, they’re ANIMALS!” (Describing Russian actions in Ukraine).
“Only ANIMALS would do that!”
He’s an ANIMAL!”
“They treated him as if he were a DOG!” (In other words, were he a dog, that would be ok).Show me a single nonhuman animal species that perpetrates what humans perpetrate on their own kind as well as on other beings, that justifies such language.
What this language does do, however, is legitimise the holocaust that humans are inflicting on other animal species, and also on one another, by branding as “other” those we inflict injury and devastation on.
Thomas_MoreParticipantSo things are going to explode there now too?
Thomas_MoreParticipantSo will Greece also oppose Finnish/Swedish membership?
