You don't need to eat animals, stop acting like being vegan is some kind of disease. If someone doesn't want to consume animal products they have every right not to, whether it be for nutritional or emotional desires. People who attack veganism only do it as they know it makes them feel bad about themselves. It's a justification to being a self centered human being who only cares about them self.

Darth Vader It is that most vegans act like you MUST be vegan, take a look at Sorsha. She is vegan and she absolutely hates meat-eaters.

[@John-mw8fw]

Lol you probably hate cereal killers, the idea that humans place life on some kind of pedestal is funny to me. Most westerners consider dogs and cats as apart of their family and sometimes even value their lives more than humans. But a cow, chicken or pig's life is somehow worthless because someone said so. No one is forcing you to become vegan but acting like eating and murdering animals just for the sake of one's pleasure is somehow justified or not morally wrong is funny to me. Animals have every right to live on planet Earth as do we. I would make the argument animals are even better than human beings. Considering the fact humans are destroying the planet, continuously killing each other and every action is only done for the benefits of our selves as a species. The funny thing is we were once living in a trees being hunted by tons of animals, but oh wait we came from Adam and Eve Nvm.

[@ascendedcat260]

Some people are getting upset over this, and while I might understand where ya'll are coming from, some points 1. They never intended for the spy to be dropped and for the monkeys to believe it's dead 2. Filming their grief is for educational purposes, not for entertainment. It's not like a producer can come out and explain to the monkeys that the baby was fake, then do a second take like nothing happened 3. This would be a better alternative than testing their emotional responses inside a zoo or lab. Here, they're in their natural habitat and can be comforted by their family and friends 4. Death is a common occurance in nature, it's not like the researchers inflicted it upon them 5 (credit to Ross for this one): This shows that animals have the same emotions humans do, thus it encourages people to treat them with compassion. Again, I understand why ya'll would be upset, you feel bad for the monkeys. That isn't a bad thing, but channeling that into anger towards the researchers isn't healthy, especially since it wasn't their fault the spy was dropped.

It's all because of sin. When God created us we weren't like that. Humans TURNED bad in general. That's why there is something in us that'll never accept the injustice and violence that is going on and we will never get use to this no matter how long it has been going on. It's because how spirit comes from God that is love and we can still see it in animals. Humans unfortunately have lost that innocence

Really? To me, it proves emotions and social bonds are as real in nature as they are in civilised society.

It's proof in nature that empathy and care are natural goods that can exist without man. Proof that should point all people to accept empathy
