SORRY CAN A MODERATOR PLEASE MERGE THIS IT WOULDN'T LET ME EDIT IT....
Surely anyone with an even modest intellect and a capacity to observe should know that animals have moods and feelings just the same as human beings do? And why shouldn't they? Why should human beings be so unique in that regard?
Although animals are very different physiological and anatomical terms ( so different as to make vivisection experiments worthless) animals show a similar range on intellectual sills and emotions to human beings.
They are not the same intellectual skills and emotions but that doesn't make them invalid. Animals do not recognise one another by name or clothing ( as we often do ) but they can recognise one another by smell, by sound and by instinctive skills which we either do not possess or have lost through not using them.
I have a book called animal rights, human wrongs by vernon coleman ( you should check it out )
Below are a few examples:
Animals were not made for human beings to use any more than women were made for male amusement or black people were made for white people. Most people comfort them selves with the false belief that animals have no feelings and therefore do not suffer. Animals are regarded as outsiders with no rights other than to serve human purposes.
They maybe (and are ) beaten, tortured, humiliated, maimed, starved, imprisoned, chased and killed for fun, boiled or skinned alive, eaten and generally abused. Humans seem to take a perverted delight in thinking of new ways to abuse the inhabitants with whom they share this planet!
Animals are sensitive and emotionally labile creatures who experience the same kind of feelings that humans experience:
Happiness, Sadness, Hope, Fear, Love, compassion and shame.
Human beings also abuse animals for fun....
In Britain People put on fancy dress and ride around chasing foxes, stags and other animals to their death. They do this primarily as entertainment but claim that they are trying to preserve the countryside but if challenged and threatened with an end to hunting they sulkily threaten to kill there horses and hounds if the fun is stopped. They don't even have the courage to admit that they are merely blood thirsty psychopaths who get a kick out of killing a defenseless creature.
Grrrrrr * rant over *
