Why Do White People Love Animals So Much?

[DarcSkies]

I think what he's talking about is how if a CAC had to choose between a child dying and the family dog it would legitimately be one of the hardest decisions they've ever made.

And that is almost exclusively a CAC problem.

White ppl dont love all animals. They the ones that's doing the hunting and killing of animals for sport. The Circus animals are mistreated and circus are owned by white people.As far as the zoo, I'm against zoos cause you basically have the animal in captivity and put on display.

I feel when it comes to animals, black ppl would leave a lion alone if they saw one but white ppl want to study or shoot it

ROTFL man fuck them kids

Kids are expensive and It cost $10 a month to feed whiskers

not to presume the thought process of the white man... but i would say "because animals may be better than people." also:

Black people don't love animals? I have a dog and consider her part of my family, I will cry like a bitch when her time is up.

this here, basically

I never said that black people don't love animals. I mean, I think I love animals. And I don't think that there are too many people that don't love their pets, but I'm talking more than just pets. My point was that it just doesn't seem like black people love animals as much as white people. Again, that might just be a myth though.

As far as the zoo I like it, but I think they belong in the wild and we need to stop hunting.

I'm ambivalent about hunting. I'm not anti-hunting though.

So we're just going to give White People credit for everything around here huh?.

But what about all of the Black Folks in Eden? Or do they not count becuz this is another "fuck white america" thread

Thanks for taking the time for a complete response.

I think it's a generalization. Not all white people love non-human animals and many people of color do.

Yes, I agree. But it seems like there is a lot of truth to this generalization. Hm, maybe not?

I'm against zoos.

I think that I am too for obvious reasons.

I believe in animal equality. To be fair, I don't think rejecting the concept of animal equality necessarily involves explicit or overt speciesism but I don't think you can make a non-arbitrary moral distinction between all humans and all non-human animals. If your concern is with happiness-suffering then it would be consistent to value or care about all animals, regardless of species or cognitive ability. If your concern is with the fulfillment of rational preferences or respecting autonomy or anything that involves a more developed cognition then it would be consistent to value some non-human animals (rats, dolphins, elephants, pigeons, magpies, octopi, ) more than you value human infants under 1.5-2 years of age who probably cannot form rational preferences or make rational choices regarding their own bodies that can be honored or contradicted ( a preference based form of consequentialism is itself inherently inconsistent, if not overtly speciesist, because different preferences are fundamentally incommensurable).

But don't infants have the potential for such cognitive ability in the way that many non-human animals do? I believe in respect for animals, but I have serious problems placing them on the same level of humans. I can respect that idea though. I think that it's called ecocentrism. It's also hard to respect an animal that can easily kill you with no fucks given.

I'm a vegan, I'm for ethical veganism (as much as is practical. To be clear, 'veganism' is not just a diet but a general lifestyle of trying to minimize the harm you cause to non-human animals).

Much respect to you, but I couldn't do. Maybe I'm too weak. I love meat.. I mean, I like being a carnivore/omnivore. I get my fruits and veggies in, and I try to stay away from red meat and processed foods, but it's hard bruh. Huh, I didn't know veganism was a lifestyle.

I think it is. I also think it's hypocritical that infants are generally given more consideration than non-human animals, regardless of whether or not they're more or less cognitively developed than infants are.

But then, aren't animal rights activists and similar people so hypocritical in just that way? Again, I think that infants get a pass because they can grow into human adults.

It's hilarious how people REALLY believe that only white people like animals.

Was this directed at me?

if it was between my dog dying and one of you niggas, i feel sorry for your familys.

I was thinking about this scenario. Honestly though. If I had to choose between some stranger's life or my dog's life, Unfortunately, I'd have to choose the stranger. My belief: human life > animal life.

Love animals?

Who hunt animals for fun?

Who own the poultry industry?

Fast food?

Who displaced animals the most?

Who killed off many species of animals?

Who own the zoos?

Who own the aquariums?

Lol, good point.

Agreed.

And back to the zoo issue, is there anyone here who isn't against zoos? Zoos seems so obviously wrong, so why do we still have them? Seems like an outdated idea. Maybe shelters but not zoos.

Again, I'm not against hunting, but I can understand some of the outrage, even though some of that outrage is potentially hypocritical and/or disingenuous when the same people have no problem with fishing, killing bugs, etc.

Not following you here. Feel free to drop some knowledge.

And no, this isn't necessarily a "fuck white america" thread.

@Plutarch the zoo im iffy on. It's good for our endangered species and learning but I really don't like the thought of having wild animals in a small enclosure.

 

[Young Stef]

Cuz they got time.

 

[Plutarch]

i regretted watching this one..............

Sheeeit. After seeing so many pleasant baby and pets videos, that caught me off-guard. I thought that dogs never hurt babies. But if you look at the video comments, a lot of white people seem to be defending the dog...

@Pico Yeah, I guess that's true. It's good for endangered species and learning. It just seems so "unnatural" and abusive. I can't front. I loved the zoo as a kid, but it's different now that I"m an adult. Yeah, wild animals shouldn't be boxed up like that.

People be getting brolic at the zoo, knowing that the animals can't do shit. Like walking up on someone you know at his job and just fucking with him, knowing he can't do shit or he'll get fired.


I forgot who it was, but it was probably Katt Williams who explained how fucked up that shit was so well.

Eh, the whites I'm around love dogs in particular; they don't love all animals so much that they wouldn't gulf down a burger. The love for dogs makes perfect sense though, since dogs were specifically bred for companionship, among other things.
