And assuming that all life recognizes that it is alive it doesn't mean it recognizes value-- value survivalistically, perhaps, but not on the philosophical/moral level assumed by Bio, Nero and Link.
back from the dead
Heh, might as well make a serious post.
Nobody would care if it were a cow running down that cliff..or be chased down that cliff.
Whats the difference if its a dog ?
Both are obviously animals with a similar brain capacity, both are edible...and both can be trained to do stuff to amuse human beings.
Whats the difference ? Are we just gonna root for the dog due to our personal preferance ?
Meh. I still think its a waste of good food, especially in those parts of the world.
Edit: Peoples smarts dont really count here, its easy to see for every open minded person that there is animal abuse happening, it does every day for our convinience, millions of mice...rabbits..and other small animals get tortured every day so chicks can use eye liner that doesnt hurt our skin, men can shave without irritating their skin...its all around us, no big deal about ONE animal being abused. The only difference here is that its caught on tape.
i'm not going into the medical department now..it might get me infracted again.

Not just from self-preservation behavior, but from acts which aim to preserve other life. It amazes me how oblivious people can be. Never owned a pet?
