[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

:| Cows are domesticated animals.. Do you even know what domesticated means?

sSubZerOo

I mean 'domesticated' in the sense of actually living in the family house. If you had a true sense of what the word 'domestic' means you probably would have gauged that from my response. But alas, I guess I shouldn't judge you for poor comprehension skills.

Domesticated

(of an animal) tame and kept as a pet or on a farm.Perhapes I must be misreading but I am pretty sure that says FARM in the definition.

Your missing the point... ...besides, I find debates about semantics tiresome

[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="thegerg"] No, it's not. What YOU posted: "There is a big difference between eating an animal like a pig compared eating an animal like a cat which is domesticated in people's homes and seen as pets." These cats are NOT domesticated in the home and seen as pets. They are seen as livestock. sSubZerOo

What I meant is that cats as a whole are not generally viewed as livestock, they are viewed by the general public as being domesticated animals. So whether these cats in particular are domesticated or not is not really my main issue.

[QUOTE="thegerg"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="thegerg"] Try reading the article next time, dummy. These cats are not pets. They are specially bred for this purpose. They are livestock.

...that's besides the point

[QUOTE="thegerg"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"]There is a big difference between eating an animal like a pig compared eating an animal like a cat which is domesticated in people's homes and seen as pets. But as evidence by all the idiotic replies on this thread, this finer distinction is lost on the sociopaths of OT. No wonder you people spend all your time at the computer - you don't seem to grasp even basic social norms.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"] What about eating and having sex with humans after they die? It is not going to hurt anybody. It may not seem entirely rational, but people seem to have a natural aversion to dead bodies to be tampered with, even if they are not religious I guess.

Um...humans are unique in this sense, since humans are literally the only animal on Earth that we can say are us. And yes, "us" gets treated differently than "them". Cows are "them", horses are "them", pigs are "them", cats are "them", chickens are "them". Rights and autonomy apply to us, not them. Not even talking about killing and eating these animals, this is indicated by the mere fact that we ARE allowed to domesticate them and treat them as pets. You can take a cat and make it your pet and force it to live wherever you want it to live. You cannot do that to a person. You can have a cat neutered. You cannot do that to a person. Hell, even work animals like horses...you can force a horse to work for you and then give it no compensation other than food, water and shelter. You cannot do that to a person, that's called slavery.

Domesticated animals of this day and age possess an exceptional existential status in the fact that they have been selectively bred to be domesticated for so long that they don't know hot live in the wild. If you left a lot of domesticated animals out in the wild then they would surely die. Is it still animal slavery if the animal is a slave by nature, and has no way of existing outside of the human(master)-animal(slave) relationship? P.S. You say no compensation other than 'food, water and shelter'. What the hell does a horse want apart from those few things? Do you want to try and give it an xbox or something?

[QUOTE="percech"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="DJ_Lae"] Eating horse meat also seems to raise a lot of anger (particularly in North America), though again, other than horses being companion animals in general there's no reason why they cannot be consumed at the end of their useful life. I mean, it is a bit dry, doesn't taste as good as cow, but hey.

Just so you know...pigs are domesticated too, idiot.

I predicted your rebuke before you even said it. That is why I said 'domesticated in people's home' in the vast majority of cases the pig will be kept in a sty and not in the person's actual house/home which is what I said in my original post

People also keep chickens and pigs and ducks as pets. Does the fact that they get upset seeing people eat pork somehow mean it's wrong for you to gobble down a big ham sandwich? How about this? The people who find eating pigs to be troubling are free to not eat pigs. The rest of us can enjoy our bacon. The people who are disturbed by the idea of eating cats are free to not eat cats. The rest of us can enjoy our buffalo cat legs.

The difference is in quantity. Far more people keep cats as pets then they do chickens and pigs. If my family kept pigs as pets when I was younger, I probably wouldn't eat pork.
