I’m stunned to find out how many people care more about pets and animals than humans | |

ANIMAL FRIEND "All creatures are created from the same paternal heartbeat of God. Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission--to be of service to them wherever they require it. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." -St. Francis of Assisi "The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated." -Gandhi Thread: Top 10 Opera Auditions (My Music Thread) |

Quoting: Higgs_Bozo Multiple family members confessed without being bashful at all that they care about pets and animals more than people. How did we get here, and what does this say about ourselves? Are you one of them? Please explain. because animals are easier to deal with and offer unconditional love. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70663772 United States 12/26/2018 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I care about my daughters and a few other people more than my pets. Why, you ask, would I care for my pets more than a person I am not acquainted with? My pets are affectionate, empathetic, and they don't judge me. If talking in general, I care less for people, but only because I care less for those who care more for themselves as a species than what books have indoctrinated them to believe to be inferior lifeforms. Life is life, and no matter how small and short-lived it may exist, it's still a facet of the mysterious gift we've all been granted to experience. |

WHY beyond family and tribe should people be all about people? It leads to no good "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind" Covid, fake riots, communist organizers - keep your powder dry America.

Maiya It's kind of fun to do the impossible. User ID: 77117417 United States 12/26/2018 09:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My animals miss me when I am gone (3 days max), never expect me to buy them presents, are easier to maintain, don't talk back or steal from me. They are also not very entitled. I have a cat. Litter, food and water are very inexpensive. I get cuddles all the time from my cat as she is Siamese. My cat also wouldn't marry an ass who works the cat to death while the human plays video games and buys 2 BMW's while deeply in debt. Pets are so much better. They never thought she would lose. Now they all lose. |

"Knock it off you two - it sounds like you are talking !" "I know you understand each other - how can that be- but I know you are talking - and it's just too much to see you talking to an animal an her talking back - you have a language together!"

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67765500 United States 12/26/2018 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, you mistakenly assume that ALL people are human with a soul. The majority of people on this planet are non-souled biological entities with sentience..... but without a soul. They are NPCs, nothing more than zombies animated by Demiurge consciousness. When you accept this fact, then it will no longer surprise you to see the shit that people do. That being the case, I wouldn’t give you two turds for most people, because most of them are nothing more than organic portals. The ones who actually show empathy, care, love and concern for others are souled humans that I will go out of my way for. GLP has a broad mix of souled humans and unsouled people. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77046724 United States 12/26/2018 10:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand hunting. I understand killing. I understand slaughter. The lives they live need kindness and gentleness. They should be cared for and fed and watered. When they are killed it must be quick and as gently as possible. People who hurt animals should be hurt in the same way. I wouldn't raise a finger to stop it. Why? Because their souls are the same as our souls. We all go back Into the light, the same eternal light when we die. We all live many lives over and over again. I have been animals before and my cat has been human before. We choose our living adventures. Long standing soul mates, or best friends down thru history, whatever. To cause pain in the most innocent of creatures is a sin, an offense that will be punished in the Karma of your future existence. I wish any person who causes pain, hunger, or thirst to any animal the curse of mental illness, the curse of self hatred and the suffering that goes with it. You knew better. Happy New Year! |

Higgs_Bozo (OP) User ID: 62470748 United States 12/26/2018 10:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just find it strange that when people are posed this question that the seemingly auto response is an attack on how bad humans are. It’s like everyone can remember almost every single interaction with a human like there are multilayered scars built up in their minds and an automatic backlash begins. Also when I state people, children should be mixed into the equation too. I mean maybe the question was posed in too much of a general sense but there are many children out there who still maintain their innocence as well... And most people I believe were born with good will, it’s more of their surroundings, I believe that shapes them to be bad. Last Edited by Higgs_Bozo on 12/26/2018 10:24 PM |

That is absolutely 100% FALSE. Your post only applies to the minority of people that are souled humans. However, most people are non-souled organic portals. Your eyes have opened to the lies of religion. Now open them a little wider to the lies that we are all souled humans. . |

And I've had the experience that when I talk about helping an animal or my appreciation of them, Some people will jump on me and try to shame me for such sentiment, accusingly saying, "Well what about the children? What about needy people>>>?" As if my concern for the animal kingdom somehow prevents me from caring for people, lol. It's like they don't want me to care for animals for some reason...kind of strange and twisted for them to get triggered like that. . It's never too late to be who you are. |
