Clearly, one animal is more than enough proof to use the blanket statement that animals are better than people. Clearly.


Perhaps you've never seen elephants mourning. They're more emotionally drawn animals than humans.

/fact
I've seen elephants mourn their dead. And lions. And hippos. And whales. And dolphins. Yes many animals mourn their dead.

That doesn't make them better than humans.


Do they take revenge when humans kill their loved ones? Elephants have been known to on multiple (and when I mean multiple, MANY) occasions.

There's a reason for the expression "An elephant never forgets".

Yup. Seeing as your snarkiness proved the complimentary statement.
Clearly, one person's attitude is more than enough proof to categorize all people into one group. Clearly.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Oh boy, look at all you cute people tossing around your arbitrarily determined requirements for one thing to be inherently "better" than something else.

Are we..are we even disagreeing?

I know elephants have taken revenge on humans. Like I said, they aren't better than us. Animals are just like us because we're animals.

Given that never a day goes by that humans don't kill for money, pleasure, power etc... seeing a dog kill another animal isn't disproof of what I said.

People are much, much worse.
And yet we donate to eachother. We give to the poor. We feed children that are not ours and we do these things everyday. Dogs kill other animals everyday. It's our nature. Posting a dog overwhelmed by love for his/her owner may be touching but there are many children who would do the same. Animals also kill each other for mates and territory. To say that we are inferior to them is a bad way to look at it.

Perhaps we're all, but what makes us worse is the fact that we realize what we do is wrong, yet we persist on doing said things.

Of course, there's many untainted individuals out there, however, humans, in general, are corrupted in more ways than one.

Many humans are irresponsible with the power they possess over other animals.

Pretty much how my dog reacted when I got home from my last (and final) deployment.

Love my dog.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

I honestly like animals more than people. I can trust animals.

While I'm glad you shared that source, you fail to make any intelligent argument. Animals deal with animal situations. I think that, if given the chance, my dog could be a real dick if he had to understand/do half of the things I do in a day.

I say that the ability to realize right from wrong is what makes us superior to animals. They are guided solely by their instinct and nature.

We as humans, have the ability to realize right from wrong. We have the capability of donating to charities, food drives, helping with the poor, donation to causes (AIDS, cancer, etc.). All of this makes us better.

In my opinion, I don't care who laughs last or first. As long as I laugh in the process, everything is good.

I don't see the point of this thread. If you care so much about humans being a -blam!- species, why not change it instead of posting it on a forum where it will change nothing?

  • 12.20.2012 2:48 PM PDT

When a human leaves prison we say that they were released into society and when an animal who was improsoned is relased we say that they were released into the wild.

We are gonna change that. When people are released we say "released back in the wild" and for animals we say "entering society once again" or however you want to say it. Cause clearly animals are far more civilized. Who likes the idea?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Ants in general as a concept disprove that.

I HIGHLY disagree.

I had a dog that was loyal to our family for years, and then one day, as a child, it tore my face apart. I had to have reconstructive surgery.

You know why it did that? Because it was jealous of me, I was getting more attention from my parents than it was.

Needless to say, it was put down the same day.

I've seen, heard of, and have personally experienced that ANY other animal can be just as sadistic, greedy, and cruel as any human being.

We're not very different, other than the fact that we usually know what is wrong, and what isn't, and that we can make complicated decisions based on that.

Ants are animals. They're in the Animalia kingdom.

How are humans worse than animals? Some, sure, but as a whole no. We know the difference between right and wrong and act on that knowledge depending on who we are. The difference between us and animals is we are given the choice between right and wrong, moral and immoral, selflessness and selfishness. Animals follow what their instincts tell them to do. It may seem like people are constantly choosing wrong, but that's what you're gonna see on the news, that's what often turns peoples' heads, so that's what the media is going to air.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Just because the majority of people aren't as loving as that dog, doesn't mean every single person ever born is below animals.

Mourning and vengeance is not instinct... unless you're implying that caring for something is instinctive, which would then indicate humans are of that same level. Why did I bring up elephants? They don't take vengeance on behalf of only their offspring- this is not offspring-specific. They mourn the death of heard-mates and even strangers, as well.

The reason why many elephants go berserk in captivity is due to mistreatment earlier in their lives. They remember those things and they apply them to emotions. Emotionality is not a human-specific trait and neither is selfless caring.

It's their habit. They are emotionally bound animals, more so than humans.

Same applies to birds. Red tailed hawk females will mourn a dead mate for a year before even considering being open for breeding again.

Everytime they see you after you've been absent for a while, they go crazy. I love it.
