This would include...
1. Free speech - If they spoke English, that would be a big help.
2. Voting - What animals would do with a ballet card: Eat it, tear it up, piss on it, stare at it, wonder why the
hell we're sticking a piece of paper in its face, etc.
3. Bearing arms - I'm not about to let a chimp own, much less use, a loaded 9mm. Are you?
4. Freedom of religion - Well, if the theory of Creation is correct, then all animals would believe in God, right? And
if the Big Bang theory is correct, they're pretty much screwed.
5. Assembly - They almost had this one when I saw a bunch of chickens with picket signs outside my local KFC. Turned
out to be a bunch of Peta kids in chicken suits...
6. Owning land - They have their own land. We give it to them in the form of zoos, back yards, wildlife reserves, national
forests, etc.
7. Fair trial - Seeing as how animals don't know the difference between right and wrong, I don't see how they could be
accused of any crime...
8. Own property - We give them plenty of stuff! Food, shelter, toys, a place to crap, grooming, or we just plain leave
them alone in the wild where they belong.
9. Life - Um... we can't very well eat or wear them if they're still alive...
10. The pursuit of happiness - Whether kept as pets, livestock, or in the wild, all animals are pretty content so long
as they're sheltered, fed, taken care of/taking care of themselves.
Typical arguements from Peta and ARAs:
The goal of Peta is total animal liberation.
This means that animals would be free to live without human influence. This is pretty much impossible, as humans have
had domination over animals since the dawn of time. I don't want to be weaving around gators on Bourbon, okay? Besides, here
are the things we would lose if we could not "interfere" with animals anymore:
- Milk
- Circuses
- Zoos
- Veterinarian clinics and doctors
- Food
- Clothes
- Crops
- Hunting
- Fishing
- Pets (includes seeing-eye dogs and police dogs)
- All medical research that requires animal testing
- Really, lots of things everyone uses on a regular day.
God does not want us meddling with his animal friends.
So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female.
God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish
of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth."
Genesis 1:27-28
And Jesus gave fish to 5000 people to eat. So there.
In every package of chicken, there's a little poop. And meat is dirty and bloody.
And all of that is fixed when meat is cooked properly, so don't worry. No E-coli for me.
More animals die every year than Jews that were killed in concentration camps.
I think only a Nazi son of a bitch would compare human people to livestock.
