How do ya'll feel about killing?

2017-02-24 at 12:02 AM UTCI've personally slaughter hundreds of goats and cows and chickens (all combined). Probably thousands of insects. Hundreds of fish too. That's about it tho.

That's a good question; I describe my moral position as ahimsa because it best fits my position as it literally means 'do no harm'' but, regardless of what the Gita says, my ethical position is a secular one and thus I do not subscribe to the religious teachings of any old book that might agree with me on this. -

well, someone's gotta do it
but really though i think the people who work in big meat packing plants like that become fucked in the head after a certain time i know i would probably adopt a different mindset after eviscerating thousands of carcasses -

He hasn't yet
Originally posted by Malice That's inhumane! There are no-kill traps readily available. Letting it slowly starve to death in the dark is barbaric. As would have been letting it have its internal organs crushed by a rapidly accelerated horizontal metal bar. Do you honestly not consider this torture?
I'm actually serious, btw.
If I caught a mouse in a no kill trap there's not much I could do with him, I live in a city. If I let him go outside he'd probably just end up back inside, if he didn't it'd be some other building. And if a mouse go into the space behind my cupboard somehow it should be able to get it, it shouldn't starve, just go somewhere else. One hopes the bar on those traps has enough force to break a mouse's spine or neck and kill it relatively quickly. The alternatives being poison or glue traps both seem significantly worse in terms of suffering.
I thought about the issue a fair amount when I was setting out traps, felt kinda bad trying to kill a mouse for just doing what it needs to do to survive, tried to think of alternatives. Ultimately though the risk to human health of a large mouse/rat population under urban conditions is significant enough that it can't really be ignored, we can't really coexist and we're the more morally relevant animal. We should probably put them into extinction if possible, or eliminate wild populations, better to kill a generation of rodents than perpetuate an unavoidable violent struggle tantamount to killing the same number every couple of years. -

I didn't vote for that fucker. Shit, I didn't vote republican which I am because he's not a real republican. Now I'm not either. I'm going to keep voting Independent. for someone who makes sure War is only in the plans if it's at our front door.
