No, I asked those who support the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of baby seals why they are clubbed in the head till they're dead instead of being shot, electrocuted, having their throats cut, being strangled, or given a shot. That does not mean, or even imply, that I "favor" them getting shot, electrocuted, having thier throats cut, being strangled, or given a shot. If those who support this brutality can't even answer the question, then they can't answer the question. All that does is undermine their supposed "support" -- no skin off my back, I know why they clobber them with clubs.
Perhaps you should stick to giving your own opinions, and not tell others what their opinion are.

So ... The MANNER of the Death of the Baby Seals is IRRELEVANT in your Opinion ... You simply object to their being killed by ANY Means ...

Howdy Teilhard I do think that both Solf and Rabello would object to the killing-murder of seals no matter how it is done. Even it was done with no brutality at all. Wether they are clubbed, shot, or given a lethal injection. It is their contention that they are innocent, and they have as much a right to exist as a human being. They also claim that since it is not "neccesary" to kill-murder them, then they shouldn't be killed-murdered. They claim that even it "was" a neccessary evil in the past to kill-murder seals in the past, it is NOT a neccessary evil NOW. Especially on an industrial scale.

Yes ... I know exactly what they're saying ... I just disagree with the RIGID ZEAL of their Black/White View of these Questions ...

Being against the slaughter of baby harp seals is hardly an indication of black-and-white thinking, and the reaction such a thing elicits is the opposite from "zeal". I would think that those who oppose advocates of the humane treatment of animals would come up with a different counterargument than the tired old equivalent of "your mother wears combat boots" to express their opposition. It's ok not to care about the seals, or the dolphins, or the whales, or the moutain gorillas, or the siberian tigers, or the elephants, or the wolves, or the prairie dogs, etc, and since it's ok not to care, that's all one really needs to say: "I don't care and I don't care that you care".

What I find most ironic about the whole animal rights debate is that almost without exception, those most rabidly supportive of animal rights and outraged at the killing of say,baby seals,are also supporters of abortion rights and being able to end the life of unborn humans. Strange. |

That's because people who are prochoice understand that banning abortion will not stop abortion and just puts the lives of women, some of whom are mothers with children to raise, in danger.

True enough. And with that intelligence comes to ability to make a choice, too.
