If even vets kill animals for personal gain what hope do the rest of the animals have. It is my understanding that there is no other vet around for a second opinion. And no one to protest to either. 0% 0 Votes
When talking about animals, is human violence?:
shooting, fishing or fox hunting etc?
killing animals for their meat or skins?
factory farming?
using animals to work for humans, ie horses, guide dogs?
using animals for sport - dog racing, bull fighting?
having pets?
destroying their habitat; depletion, displacement or
extinction?
If you asked me this before I would have given you very different answers to the one I give you now. Which is, in my opinion, YES all of the above are human violence against animals.
Then you get onto the issue of what is humane treatment?
How do you define that? Take shooting Is it shooting for sport, shooting for food, for pelts, shooting for survival against wildlife attacks, shooting to put down an injured animal? The where does this apply? Everywhere? Only in certain countries? The issue is complex.
Stopping human violence against animals is a nice dream, I hope one day we can all share it and act on it. 18% 3 Votes
