GboroRam Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm of the opinion that both are bad but cruelty to humans is worse. However cruelty to animals is often a precursor to other more violent and psychopathic crimes so these boys need catching and stopping before they escalate.

And we are all related after all. But it will be difficult to persuade people to care too much about bacteria, bread mold or a variety of parasites. How about we start by attempting to not cause suffering in other animals and trying to make sure that we don't destroy their habitats entirely.

It is a good job that the people that have respect for micro organisms have not followed your advice. Otherwise antibiotics, vaccines, antidotes and other medicines would remain under discovered. Having respect for living things kinda includes respecting habitats, migration routes, breeding sites etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that could be considered respect in a way. But aren't we just using these lifeforms for our own purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are, we are 'top' of the food change and have greater intelligence, therefore it is absolutely necessary to respect all forms of life. Be that be a honey bee or the amazon forest. Everything (almost) is here for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I saw a bloke smack his dog so hard it yelped this morning. It crossed the road before it should have and almost got run over, the owner's response was to hit it when they were both safely on the other side. I started to walk over to have a little chat about picking on someone his own size but a bus driver beat me to it sadly. Glad to see I wasn't the only one disgusted by him.
