Childhood indoctrination

[littleendian]

Me too! And so does any cow and her calf and any sheep and any camel, and we have as much or as little right to ask for a good life as they do.

You have not had much time spent on a farm have you?

I know enough about farms to know that you can only produce milk by separating a cow from her calf, which is terribly traumatizing for both the mother and the child. They are mammals like us so they form very tight mother-child bonds from the second the child is born. This is cruel and it is a high prices that others have to pay for you to enjoy dairy products, which are incredibly unnatural for us to eat (no other species drinks mothers milk beyond infancy and certainly not that of a different species).

I keep telling you that they are a different species! A infirior species!

You sound like the German of old!

And I really don't see where you have shown that because they're a different species and because they might have less efficient brains than we do means anything regarding the moral responsibilities we have towards them.

@Forbinator: Don't you also always get the feeling that there's something in the bush when people get so insulting and emotional in these kinds of discussions? Even people who claim to put reason above everything.
