I mean that those who label themselves as free range are usually full of **** when you see what the "free range" is.

I know what you meant. I'm in kind of a weird mood tonight. Maybe it's the Percocet and beer.
 
People with Down Syndrome are "dumb".

I won't say that you're saying animals have a right to live, since we like to eat some of them, but you ARE saying they have a right to not be harmed unnecessarily. Qualifications regarding ability to understand are neither here nor there. We still advocate those unable to understand some level of right of protection.

Really? You are going to compare mentally handicapped people to animals? Seriously?
 
Animals aren't dumb, come on... Is a severely autistic child able to understand rights?

Yes they are, my pet snake takes upwards of 40 minutes to swallow a dead rat, he's ****ing stupid. Nope, and that's why a severely autistic child has their guardian make decisions for them.

That isn't an indicator of stupidity...

Not all of them, especially those with mosaic Down Syndrome.

They don't have a right not to be harmed, we don't have a right to harm them.
 
If you cannot follow the line of conversation, I can't help you. Have a nice day.

Oh I followed it and it still is absolutely ridiculous to compare disabled humans to everyday animals because of a disability. Seriously bad form.
 
Mmmmm, bacon!

I sincerely hope you're not serious, as this video shows pregnant pigs kept in tiny crates, kicked, piglet's slammed with bowling balls, crying of piglet's for their mothers... I sincerely hope you're not serious.

Well, why not? It's not bad form, it's a valid point.

Yeah it is, he tries to swallow it tail first, he's an idiot. If he was in the wild trying to eat bats from a cave roof like he's meant to, he would fail miserably and be a lot skinnier than he is.

No it's not. It's like the idiots who try and compare humans children for the same reason... they are still humans.

Ok then :doh

I could so go for a pork belly sandwich right now.
 
Other.- more rights than what? Fire ants have no right to occupy my yard and a large rodent population begets rattlesnakes.

Does a rattlesnake have a right to eat a mouse?

They say snakes tend to adopt the characteristics of their owners. I read it on the internet so it's true.
 
Not even covered in chocolate?

Quite a few things one can use, ketchup is good for me.
8 spider legs is nothing, people are so paranoid about that stupid ****.
