One more disgusting item about mice

[AFTT47]

Oh, cute.

I guess my point of extending acceptance to those who are different from you - especially when others are doing the same for you - rates nothing more than clever retorts.

Mice are definitely lower life forms compared to humans but they are also definitely sufficiently advanced to feel suffering. If you don't respect that of them, why should I give a shit about people persecuting you for your absolutely disgusting (from my emotional point of view) desire to - uhhh, I don't even want to put it into writing?

You are entitled to demand acceptance (or at least respect) for your differences of which you have no control over and I'm fully on-board with that. But what's that expression about a man living in a glass house throwing stones?

You want respect about who you are? A good place to start is to demonstrate respect for creatures who are what they are through no choice of their own.

As far as I'm concerned you're way out of line.

Way out of line because I value the lives of conscious creatures who feel the same things you do: A desire to survive, fear, pain?

I'll admit that I get emotional about this topic. I realize that this shit reality we live in requires to some degree that we kill other conscience beings to secure our own survival. But that SUCKS! It's not something to make light of. Anyone who takes pleasure in "stomping the life out of" a conscience creature is IMHO a depraved, fucking asshole.

I submit that we do have to do it sometime. It's a crying shame, though. Anyone who takes pleasure in such a thing is of no use to me and has none of my respect.
