Call 4 chan, we've got another one...

You mean pure as in we've bred them to such a state where they can no longer make any life changing choices for themselves, or even live in the wild, like they used to?

 

[Sicron]

Neither in the wild nor in captivity do animals act different, whether we are black or white, fat or anorexic, et cetera. They are pure in the sense that they do not behave differently no matter how we look unlike humans, who do start acting differently based on religion or origin.

Animals may not treat humans differently, but they certainly treat other animals differently based on a variety of things. So really, they just think we all look the same, and provided we feed them, or the potential to feed them exists, we're okay in a domesticated animal's book. But on the flip side, there's no reasoning with a mother****ing bear while it's mauling you, either.

Seriously Nix, this discussion with you is pointless.

 

[Grega]

but in all seriousnes I love animals as much as any other caring person but don't start replacing animals with humans there's a reason why we are humans and they are animals c'mon think logical

Yea we are 100 times worse than any animal living on this planet.

 

[Darth Revan]

The feeling is mutual. Humans are worse than animals? Animals are pure? Whatevs, brah.

Our potential to do horrible things is matched only by our potential to do wonderful things. When my cat starts conducting orchestras, we'll talk.

I had a white german shepherd mix that weighed 80lbs. She was an awesome dog, would never nip to get food out of your hands, she would always, always, use her toung and lap the food out so her teeth wouldn't touch you (unless you were roughhousing with the dog, in which case your squishy ass was fair game). She was so dainty we named her Lady. Great dog. The problem was she utterly HATED other animals. It would take a long time for her to be cool with another dog, like my then girlfreind now wife's dog Pookie, a 30lb terrier mix.

Cats and wild animals were greeted with Mr. Hyde persona, and viciously attacked if she was not properly leashed. She had even managed to take down a white tail deer once. Point is, the dog was a total mush with people but performed some seriously savage attacks on other animals in her territory. Fight or flight exists in every animal, human or otherwise, and some animals use that fight way more often then they should. Whales have been shown to torture seals before eating them, even playing with them by slapping them with their tails in a bloody version of ocean volleyball. All predators, omnivores and even some herbivores have capacity for cruelty when challenged, even when the nature of that challenge is I need money and some sick people are turned on by animal death.
