If someone (a person, not an animal or a plant) is suffering and is getting killed, does he keep suffering? |

| It's a wrong reasoning. It's like because deaths from car accidents can not be eliminated we can purposefully kill people on road. We should eliminate suffering whenever it is possible. |

| Sometimes to be an ordinary citizen of a country is worse than to be a family pet of an ordinary family from another country. From this point of view, what do you think, does it make sense to talk about animals' rights? |

| Some people fight for human rights as well. Can you be more specific? Give an example when ordinary pets have better lifes then people. Thank you. |

Define "fighting for human rights" please. Who's fighting for human rights? American soldiers in Iraq? Islamic terrorists blowing themselves in London? Why black-skinned people were set free in US? Because the sly Uncle Abe needed more meat to fight the war. It was just a political trick.
Here we go - this is a snippet from a REAL IRC log: Guy_who_lives_in_USA: My dog went sick today. I took him to a veterinary. I've paid 150 bucks. Guy_who_lives_in_Philippines: *sigh* My salary is about USD25 per week. Guy_who_lives_in_USA: Wtf? I spend for my dog more than you sped for yourself??? Guy_who_lives_in_Philippines: Indeed. Your dog has a better life than me :( |
