The pics thread

[V.V.V.V.V.]

A lioness defends her cubs against predators. You don't need science to PROVE that they have emotions. What do you need? A graph of chemical changes in the brain plotted against time when you slice open each one of her younglins?

Instincts, not necessarily the human concept/emotion of love, tbh. Not saying humans aren't partially instinctual though.

You need to come here and see our zoo, where huge 7' gorilla lives in a cage that is only like 3 times bigger than it. I bet it would find a right way to express you how happy it is if you'd be locked there with it for one hour...
Same with bears and other animals. They are skinny as hell too.

Then you have a shitty zoo in Kiev (which doesn't surprise me, tbh). That doesn't mean all zoos suck. Come to some zoos in America, all the animals are fine.

So you can stick your facts deep in your anus

Curse me and my facts!

suck on my middle toe

This is where being a girl must be hard...no dick to tell other people to suck.

and shut the fuck up.

As if there's any chance of that.

"A growing number of scientists agree that animals are conscious and capable of experiencing basic emotions, such as happiness, sadness, boredom or depression. A few scientists even see the possibility for higher animal emotions like love, jealousy and spite."

Okay. But that doesn't mean that pets are unhappy. It just means that they are capable of being happy that they are fed and cared for.

I care...

I thought I named a thing for you to suck? There are plenty of others too, btw.

 

[waif]

I care...

Point is that one crappy zoo doesn't mean that the concept of zoos is morally wrong.

I thought I named a thing for you to suck? There are plenty of others too, btw.

Right, but it's not really degrading...some people would be thrilled to suck your toes.

Pets are happy because they are animals who are used to live with people and are domestical, they will have hard times living in the street. Pets. But not wild animals.

 

[S.U.A.D.]

I'd tone down the smugness if I were you. Manowar are on their way to your house to bludgeon you to death with said offending cd as we speak.

Holy shit, I suppose I should start running now to get a head start, eh?

Okay. But SUAD's snakes are domestic. As are all the animals in the zoo.

"A growing number of scientists agree that animals are conscious and capable of experiencing basic emotions, such as happiness, sadness, boredom or depression. A few scientists even see the possibility for higher animal emotions like love, jealousy and spite."

And so it all boils down to this:

SO WHAT. Let me point out that animals also have a dominant instinct to look out for themselves and their own. And that's exactly what I do, care about me and my own. NO fucking animal is of higher importance than my loved ones, and those who think they are are bonafide fruitloops.

Dewd, you keep them in a fucking cage. Naturally snakes do not live in cage. You say that they prefer to live in tight places (woo-hoo ) - that's cool, people also live in rooms, but for some reason they don't like to be in prison (not to consider gay sex).

 

[rms]

Can't really compare prison to a room, because of all the things that are lost by going to Prison.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Also basic analogies between humans and animals are irrelevant by their very nature.

 

[~Neurotica]

In prison you also have food, shower and sometimes even a tv.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Don't even try to say prison is great

 

[~Neurotica]

My point was that it's not. The same's with a cage.
And SUAD for 30th time will remind me that his snakes weren't born wild, but it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I'm not waisting any more of my time for trying to break ignorance.

Leman Russ Battle Tank! Got a few of those in model. The sword is ofcourse to kill those pesky genestealers or chaos terminators that happens to walk up to your tank.

This is a great trilogy by the way! I never expected to enjoy the GW fiction, but I bought it as it was rec. on the dark heresy fan pages.

Very pacy, atmospheric and, if all else fails, thoroughly absorbant!

 

[entanglement]

...weren't born wild, but it doesn't matter....

Yes. If wild snakes were to get accustomed to domestication, it would require MORE than just one single generation to be made used to it. If SUAD and kids and grandkids (and even further) domesticated the same group of snakes, inbreeding them over hundreds of years, he could somehow approach a very VERY initial step of having fully domesticated snakes.

Big cats didn't become domestic cats overnight.

Okay. But SUAD's snakes are domestic. As are all the animals in the zoo.

Try again. There's a difference between an animal being domestic and it being domesticated.

Instincts? So animals lack instincts?

This is what you said: "Science hasn't proven that animals even feel emotions as humans do, and I also doubt they do so...who cares?"

 

[Matt]

Instincts =/= emotions

 

[Carcassian]

Fucking hell, animal rights animal smights.

I tell yet this: If I find myself starving, in a forest with only a knife for a friend, it don't matter how fluffy and cute Mr Bunnykins is, he's going in the fucking pot.

I'll debate whether or not he felt sad as I gutted him once my own belly is full.
