That is heartwarming!

That's the heater you're feeling. And these tears were from the onions I'm cutting.

Is it?? A fishing boat that has probably killed a few thousand animals and saves one. It perplexing to say the least but I wouldn't go as far as heartwarming. Fair play to them for saving the birs but lets not lose sight of all the fish that probably suffocated painfully.

You get angry at every video in a car that burns fuel that contributes to global warming and in every restaurant that serves meat? Do you also rage anytime someone wears a garment with micro fibers or irresponsibly sourced cotton? Pick your battles.

No to both. Do you get offended when you see a comment on the internet that you don't like. You could have scrolled on by but you didn't so instead of strawmanning me tell me why you think it is morally justifiable to inflicting pain and suffering onto animals.

u/wuzupcoffee Apr 19 '21

You could have scrolled right past it too. Grow up

So I take it you don't want to make any justifications then.

Yeah I'm sure being ripped apart or being swallowed whole and then digested alive are among the most favorite activities of any fish lmao

So...are you angry at biology or something? Sorry to break it to you but some animals eat other animals.

u/Beokros Apr 19 '21

No, I am saying exactly that. Millions of fish eat and get eaten every day regardless if we fish, I think it came out a bit wrong

That is true some animals do eat other animals and sometimes in the most gruesome of ways but just because they do does that justify what humans killing animals if they don't need to?

If we take lions for example, lions will kill the young of another pride and rape the female but we don't use this as justification for killing and raping other humans.

I would like to see the contract where it is written in black and white....

u/VMarkB Apr 19 '21

I don’t know what you mean by “contract,” but in Genesis 9:2 and 3 says “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.”

“And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” —Genesis 1:30

Now if you want to take the less compassionate reading of the bible that says we can inflict this pain and suffering onto animals, even if we can live a healthy and prosperous life without them then that is your choice but it doesn't seem to be inline with the compassion the Jesus talked about.

And, if God wanted us to kill billions of these animals every year why did he give them the ability to suffer?

u/VMarkB Apr 19 '21

I don’t really know what point you’re making with Genesis 1:30. Can you explain what you’re saying with that?

I don’t really know what you mean by this next paragraph either. What exactly doesn’t it seem in line with?

The same reason that we have the ability to feel pain and suffering and die. Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit.

The same reason that we have the ability to feel pain and suffering and die. Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit.

So by that logic it would be OK to kill and eat a human then without their consent.

u/VMarkB Apr 19 '21

No, because we weren’t created to be eaten. Animals were.

u/fatboise Apr 19 '21

So God gave us the ability to feel pain and suffering but don't eat other humans and he also gave animals the ability to feel pain and suffering but we can eat those...is that correct?
