That author is a hack, but it's true that bivalves might not feel pain. As far as I know, there hasn't been any conclusive evidence on them, however in their larval stage they can, in fact, feel pain.

So it's hypocritical of me to have a heart for animals, I see. I'm sure if you ask every other animal lover, they'd say fish are exactly the same as dogs.o.pwuaioc wrote:Not trying to convince you or whatever, you can believe what you want to believe, but it's a bit hypocritical to say it's ok to kill fish but not dogs without giving a reason. What's the difference for you? What about cats? Cows? Horses? Ducks? Swine?BurningDoom wrote:Whatever about the fish. I don't care about the fish.
I don't think it's okay to devalue the dog's life because it's a dog. Not gonna convince me otherwise, especially with some weak argument about fish and bugs.
It's not okay to kidnap or kill dogs or humans.

Maybe you should chill and read what I actually said. I never justified the kidnapping of animals. I just said to not want to eat dogs while being absolutely fine with eating fish without justification is hypocritical, and it is. Fish are animals.

Come on, do you know how ridiculous you sound? Like I'm even going to continue arguing your ridiculous fish and bugs point.
And eating animals for food is totally the same as this situation, too.
Do you know how heartless the rest of you sound by trying to justify this whole situation? Yeah, the people in an uproar about the dog being kidnapped sure are a bunch of idiots. I think I just lost a whole lot of respect for the ones of you arguing this. What happened to this poor dog is messed up. And like I said in my last post, Dsh has a point, people should be mourned too when this happens. But that doesn't mean the dog shouldn't.
That's exactly what I've been talking about is the article we've all been talking about. The kidnapping of animals.

I am against any kind of animal torture. Even if it's a fly, you shouldn't pull out its wings or burn it alive with lens. However when you say animals are on equal footing as people, then you sound like the "first world problems" meme.BurningDoom wrote: So it's hypocritical of me to have a heart for animals, I see.

Before I attack others?! ROFLMAO! That's rich. You guys aren't attacking my view on dogs at all or picking apart everything little thing I say.

Furthermore before you attack the others read the thread. All this talking of dogs made me google for images of cooked dogs from asia, and I personally mentioned that the image is just disturbing to me. (But of course I insist that as long as it's not human, and it belongs to them, everyone has the right to eat whatever animal they like).
