re: #29 The Ghost of a Flea
So far as I know, no, they don’t make a distinction on sapience/sentience of animals in what they protest. But then again I don’t think weighed consideration is part of their milieu. The “companion animal” versus “pet” distinction is really flimsy, and largely euphemism.
Yep. It’s alright when they do it, bascially.
I personally don’t like the ideas of the big whales in captivity—there’s studies of the standing stress levels and a bunch of other stuff that bother me. But the whole “slavery” thing gets my back up.
I don’t like it either.
But yeah, why is the mass death of mosquitoes not a problem, but the mass death of ducks are?
