Why is it legal to kill animals but not humans?

Question

i was just wondering this because if you think about it we all came from a bacteria billions of years ago. just because we are smarter and walk upright doesn't mean we should be allowed to kill animals. so many species are being extinct because of this. people wait too long to say, ok you can't kill this animal any more because there aren't alot left. umm duh. please give me your opinion.

Answer 1

Animals are here for us, if they are coming from bacteria billions of years ago then that makes even more sense that we should kill them since we are at the top of the chain food chain, that's how the old school bacteria do it, why can't we?!

Answer 2

Many humans unfortunately have a mindset in which we're superior to animals, but we're not.

Answer 3

the ten commandments but in some cases the killing of people is legal such as self-defense,war and ABORTION

Answer 4

Hate to break it to you, but humans actually NEED animal fats. We are omnivores, just like primates, bears, raccoons, oppossums and many birds. It's just how things are naturally and have evolved to be.

Recent surveys are indicating that while things like soy and nuts do have protein, it is an incomplete protein. Hence, those who abstain from eating animal fats (or drink soy milk instead of milk from animals) have a much higher ratio of developing dementia. For men the chances are worse than women; men who eat tofu more than regular meats are twice as likely to get Alzheimer's. Women, the risk is very slight, but still elevated.

Some people will scoff and say 'soy doesn't cause dementia' and that is true. Soy DOESN'T cause dementia. Eating soy INSTEAD OF regular meats causes cancer; it is the lack of the needed proteins that causes for people to get senile as they get older.

And while some species have become extinct due to humans eating them, that is very rare. In fact, most animals now are bred to be eaten. Black Angus Cattle, Cornish Broiler Chickens and many others are all bred for the sole purpose of making food.

Answer 5

well look . im an animal lover but we gotta admit that humans are probably the most intelligent animals on earth and have created this society that is superior to other species. we know the rule of evolution , the survival of the fittest. all organisms must survive so they have to kill other animals. it is true that there should be rules which r more strict in order to protect animals that r close to become extinct.
