Anthropocentricity

Post Reply New Topic

Many people seem to have the idea that humans dying of things other than old age is inherently negative and that killing humans is something extremely bad. I don't have a problem with all that but the double standards make me sick. Many of these same people think killing animals is something entirely different altogether. Notice how in movies and TV shows they make it out like psychologically healthy people are repulsed by dead bodies and body parts etc. to the point that they go into a panic just discovering a dead body. These same people will walk into a butcher shop with body parts of animals laid out on tables and dead bodies hanging on meat hooks but are not the least bit repulsed by any of that. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words here but it appears to me that there are some kind of sick double standards that are conditioned into humans from the day they were born. When I'm on psychedelics this becomes blatantly obvious and its painful to think about. Little kids who haven't been conditioned so greatly yet see it for what it is. I eat meat so I contribute just as much as anyone else to the suffering and slaughter of animals but I don't feel like humans have some superior rights that give them immunity to the kind of s**t we do to animals. I don't see anything strange about cannibalism. I'm not actually a cannibal but I'm not opposed to the idea of becoming one. People go out stalking animals in the forest and shooting them for the fun of it. I could have lots of fun shooting hunters and I would have absolutely no moral objections to killing these people. On the contrary I'd probably be saving many animals from being mindlessly slaughtered by a so called advanced organism equipped with enough mental capabilities to know better. I know these people are blinded by their ignorance but why should these animals die because of these peoples ignorance.

Not allowed to talk about penis or vagina either. Even poo's are off limits to most people.

We flush them away quickly in disgust, even though they were part of us. Love your poop!

Factory farmed meat should be banned, its a terrible life for those poor animals

I see dead people all the time. It's part of my job. Dead people are much easier to deal with at times than living... they don’t complain or yell at you or demand the impossible.
And as far as meat is concerned, that's part of being somewhere on the food chain. Eat or be eaten. Obviously, from a heaalth standpoint, it is healthier to eat vegetarians. Or vegetation. You shouldn't make a habit of eating carnivores. Too many toxins build up.
and vagina is not a dirty word. It is the proper word and no dirtier than elbow or foot.

I think it's an ethical issue. I don't think many people actually enjoy hurting animals or seeing maimed animals, but sometimes it is necessary. For example, experimentation on animals may seem cruel to some, but it's a more ethical option than experimenting on people.

Animals are essential to our survival, both for consumption and otherwise. Also, if you think about it, animals eat other animals all the time. Why should we humans be any different?

It is natural to be scared of seeing a dead human most likely the fear is built in as a warning to a potentially dangerous situation. I don't eat meat and when I see a dead animal on the road it makes me feel sad but if I saw a dead person on the road there would be more fear and confusion there also and I would probably have a natural urge to look around and check my own safety.

I actually think I'm the one that's wrong. It is a dog eat dog world, humans are on top of the food chain and are eating animals. I don't like this world, I have a lot of compassion for other lifeforms, I wish I didn't live in a dog eat dog world but it is so I try my best to get on with it using my own conscience and morals but they really aren't designed for this place, people who eat animals are, I mean we are designed to take life from other things to survive, whether it's an animal or a plant.

I do wish aliens that were as smart to us as we are to pigs would come down and farm us though just to teach us a lesson.
