But let me suggest a slightly different perspective. If we look at the bottom of the matter, we will see that there is a certain hypocrisy about all this "killing animal is evil" thing. The thing is that we do kill animals, we do it intentionally, painfully for the animal and on the industrial scale. Not only we kill animals, but we also torture them - intentionally: think about all the completely routine stuff they are doing in the farms, e.g. castrating the bulls or cutting their horns off. And what about marking them by burning their skin. And what about ****** abuse, a blunt rape of sheep, which became a norm amongst Ngati's countrymen (but yeah, I agree - this is a whole different story...).
I mean, do any of this to a little cute kitty and you will be instantly accused of being a pervert, belgian, sadist, nazi, Macs or any other not less severe crimes. So, the question thus, which we presented for our unintellectual investigation is this: What the fvck is the difference?? What is the difference between castrating a cute kitty and a bull? What is the difference between molesting a sheep and a cute kitty?
The answer which we usually will hear from the nazi-belgian-terrorist-Macs apologists is this: castrating a bull, molesting a sheep and cutting the cow's throat, they all have a purpose, a purpose which is supposed to serve the good of the main kind (keep us fed, dressed and ******ly satisfied). And if we are being completely honest in this intellectual inquiry of ours, we will admit that there is a certain point to this.
The problem in purposeless torturing and killing a cute little kitty is not that is purposeless, but that it is purposeless in our mind. Just like the kitty's cuteness is in our mind. Surely, if the kitty was ugly and we had to kill for the purpose of making shawarma/kebab at the shawarma joint int the Tel-Aviv market, it would be perfectly OK.
The difference is thus within us, within our human mind. At this point of our thorough intellectual inquiry we have to ask ourselves: why the fvck would we do something like that ??Why it makes for us such a difference, whether the murder, torture and abusive exploitation are for a certain purpose or just for fun?
My personal opinion (based on my extraordinary intuition and sever chemical imbalance, caused by continues ****** frustration) is that this has something to do with our inherent human compulsive instinctive ability to project our emotions on our fellow human beings. The same ability which has been developing through the ages of human evolution to allow us effectively survive and coexist as social tribal animals. The same ability, we all so affectionately call sympathy.
Now, when the human evolution has reached its final dead end, and lately all it does is freakish agonizing movements creating as a byproduct such creatures as belgians and Macs, we started to project our emotions, our sympathy on animals. Thus, the cruel and abusive behavior towards animals is subconsciously automatically perceived by us as cruelty toward a human being. Therefore such behavior, indicating something animal, stripped of anything human(and thus humane) (usually caused by excessive drinking or socializing with Macs, Gypsum and other belgians), will inevitably frighten and disgust us.
I'm glad to conclude by this our little intellectual inquiry as to human nature and its implication on the unhuman nature. I hope it shed some light on the various and different matters which otherwise would stay in the deep dark of the human ignorance. So help us God.
Cordially yours,
