It may seem quite controversial to argue against animal rights but I have a raging feminist girl in my college class who argues about absolutely everything and she has pushed me to the psychological limit and provoked a bit of deep thinking on my part.

Since the dinosaurs perished and mankind became the dominant species on Earth, we have remained unchallenged. Well over 2000 years have gone by and we haven’t had a challenge to our power, a single species (namely us) has pretty much unlimited power. People talk about how intelligent dolphins and dogs are and how they are almost as clever as humans and even show human traits so should be treated equally. A few hundred years ago before the slave trade was abolished, black people were treated worse than animals despite the fact that they were in fact human.

Before the world decides to give animals all these special rights I think we need to sort out human rights before. Racial hatred is at an all time high and before animals start getting treated the same as humans, other humans need to start respecting each other and treat each other as equals.

If animals are smart enough to understand they aren’t treated equally then why don’t they go ahead and do something about it? Why, because they aren’t that smart. I am against animal cruelty for sure, I love animals and hate so see battery farming, fox hunting and animal testing going ahead but we need to develop a perspective. Our fellow man is more important than any animals. No matter how much you love your little pet hamster, a human life is more valuable.

I’m interested to listen to your views on the matter, so go on, discuss.

And time recording didn't start with Jesus' death.

Is it ?

So if a baby grows up getting slapped around then that's okay, up until the age that the baby itself can do something about it ?

And if someone gets kicked around their whole life, doesn't realise that it's not normal, doesn't know it's not 'equal' treatment to others, they shouldn't be helped either ?


> a human life is more valuable.

Why's that ?

Sorry, just sounded like you had been warped by one of those Christian reform schools.

If dolphins are so smart, why do they always get caught up in nets?

I said, "Well over 2000 years have gone by..." - Time recording began at the death of Jesus but I am well aware the human species has been around much longer than that man.

HA ha ha, that bit about the "2000 years has passed..." really made me laugh. I know you don't mean it, but it really looks like that's when you thought dinosaurs died out. Everyone knows they're alive in some Bolivian jungle.
