This debate is completely ridiculous because of what we do not know about animals. Subjecting animals to human belief and doctrine is an illogical way to go about the situation, because it is just that; created by man, not by beast (Although the righteous few who wrote it may be considered just that).

Once again, I shall stress that animals are our equal. Unlike other animals, the main defense and weapon of man is the ability to ask "Why, How, Who, What, When, and Where" and then apply it directly to real life situations to create progress. Animals may have similar capability, but unlike us, they have natural defenses such as tough hide, claws, speed, strength, etc. The human has none of these except for the mind.

Constructs zero, actually its natural to see oneness in all things......

Wondering if killing Animals is upsetting to you? Do animals have the right to exist? Do they have an afterlife same as we want?I love my animals as much as my Children my cat is so loved.

Not in my opinion. I don't think it's natural to look down at dog poop and say "I am one with the poop".

Sure don't. But I don't think it's natural to think all things are equal. I bet most kids around the age of 10 would put humans above animals if asked.

I'd doubt you've never mentioned your "one-ness" idea around your kid. Grab a kid who wasn't taught anything about being seperate, above, below or one with an animal, and then ask him. That way he can't really have any prior idea bashed into his head.
I can agree that all things are one, but maybe not all equal, but I can't say either way.

Yeah, because we all know Sheri knows the only right way to parent kids.

Riiiiiiiiiight, lol.

It is us against them. Humans against the animals. The animals always tried to eat us...and we have always tried to eat them.

Bleh? I guess I didn't, zan. ...

Ummm nope...*nudges T & Sheri umm did you girls see it..quick say something lol*

Seriously though..No Zandore I didn't post it ty

What the Bible says about Cannibalism
Sometimes God forces people to eat other people, often their own children or other family members.

"I also will do this unto you... You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it." -- Leviticus 26:16

"And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." -- Leviticus 26:29

"And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters." -- Deuteronomy 28:53

"And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them." -- Deuteronomy 28:57

"Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm." -- Isaiah 9:19-20

"And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine." -- Isaiah 49:26

"And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend." -- Jeremiah 19:9

"Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers." -- Ezekiel 5:10

"I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another." -- Zechariah 11:9

Sometimes the Bible just reports, often with apparent relish, cases of cannibalism.

"This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him." 2 Kings 6:28-29

"The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat." -- Lamentations 4:10

"Who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron." -- Micah 3:2-3

"Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. -- Ezekiel 24:10-12

Ok so why do Animals exist are they supplied for us by God or do we just kill them being the dominant force on the planet.
if they dont have a soul like we think we have, why do we love them so much and keep them as pets admiring how they show a love for us. I think you underestimate our fellow companions on Earth and treat them as second class to be used and abused.
