Well it is sad
And they are cute
And it does suck
But still a part of me (a very big part) says hey what if they weren’t cute?
I feel crappy about them dying yet I won’t think anything after eating a chicken, a cow or a pig, let alone putting on my leather jacket, belt or shoes.
I didn’t care when I killed about a half of a dozen mice a few years back. I won’t even mention the unbelievable amount of mosquitoes I’ve squashed with my bare hands, only to have theirs and my blood squish in my palm.
I know they aren’t cute.
And nothing says drama like a baby bleeding against a white background.
Just thinking out loud I guess, no point really, I have no answers, I don’t even know if they are endangered. If they are, it’s stupidity, but that’s a different argument isn’t it?
Murder is sad.
Death is sad.
Yet we have to kill to stay alive, even if it’s just a plant we kill.
I have no idea what is right when it comes to hunting.
I have no idea what they are doing with those baby seals, I’m guessing they are using the skins to make some clothing for Paris Hilton, and then using the meat to feed dogs or something like that. I don’t know.
In my attempts to not be a hypocrite I have become somewhat confused.
Sharks eat seals, sharks have a right to live also.
No one seems to mind that as much.
Probably because they eat one at a time, us humans are much more efficient we have clubs.
Beat seal! OOGA OOGA
Sure we could get by without killing seals, we could get by without killing chickens too, if only they weren’t so ugly. Chicks are cute, but chickens well they make good meals, and there really isn’t enough meat on a chick to kill them, what would be the point?
I just bought a leather belt a few weeks back, it’s very nice and it holds my pants up. I like that in a belt, style and function. I could just as easily use a rope made of hemp, but then I would have to kill a plant. I could use a nylon rope but that would last a billion years on Earth and hurt the environment.
The plants don’t feel.
Plants have no mommies
Plants have no nervous system so that doesn’t count, even if they have a life force.
I hear corn husk shoes are coming back into style. Talk about a corn on your foot.
Honestly I wouldn’t want to kill a baby seal, I’d feel guilty.
To be honest I felt a little guilty killing the mice, but they had to go, they didn’t fit into my picture of a clean and germ free environment. I never feel guilty when eating chicken, even though I’ve seen the movies from the slaughter house, probably because I didn’t actually have the blood on my hands.
I don’t even like seeing bloody meat at the store. It just seems gross.
But I’ll eat the steak when it’s cooked, rare even.
I eat fish also, it’s supposed to be good for you, well if you don’t mind your healthy food with a side of mercury. I can’t tell you how many baby wheat grains died for me, bless there little souls.
I bet seals eat fish, they kill too.
I know fish are not cute, seals are.
I have a theory, and I’d bet I’m right.
If we were cannibals, ugly people would be stew.
We like beauty, we want to keep it, ugly things we like to get rid of.
We let beauty get away with murder and we don’t let ugly get away with anything.
Unless ugly is really charming, I mean really charming, and then they can skate by, but they will always be sort of the charity cases of the world.
Strange creatures humans are
Very strange.
