36. Isn't strange how sensitivity works? |
|
If you announced on DU that you were killing your dog because he had behavioral problems, DU'ers would be horrified. But because he is a rooster, you get tips for efficient killing and jokes about killing.
Is the rooster less sentient or does he have less of a right to live than your dog? Not really, we humans just arbitrarily decide.
