My Thoughts on Animals

Your relationship with your pet or preferences for certain animals does not make you an animal lover. You naturally love your pet, or by extension love all cats for example, which would make you a cat lover. But I’m not convinced by anyone who say they are an animal lover if they eat meat. It’s saying I love animals but I prefer some of them dead. That doesn’t make sense. 

I know animal lovers. They turned vegetarian because they do not want to participate in any animal killings. I truly respect that, I want to be all embracing animal lover too, but I love my food more. Don’t call yourself an animal lover if you cannot commit, it is an insult to them. 

Humans are meant to be omnivores, we are meant to eat meat. Like you can’t force a carnivore to eat plants, our need for anything edible is almost instinctive. And nobody should fall in love with their food. 

The recent anger over the hit and run incident. Do you know SPCA kills hundreds of animals a month? Now you know. Why don’t you spend your energy saving them instead of moping over an incident is already being covered by law. Not enough justice, write to the jurisdiction. Angry over death of an animal, go save some from SPCA. Isn’t it more worthwhile to do something useful instead of getting so worked up? I’m just saying. 

I have nothing against SPCA’s work. Most of them love animals, and yet they have to put down animals by the hundreds every month. And they are genuinely upset when they talk about it. 

Now the tricky part. What I’m against is unnecessary cruelty to animals. Killing is not pretty but necessary. It is simply not sustainable for the planet if everyone turns vegetarian.

Lastly, these are my opinions now. I’m not saying I’m right or you’re wrong if you disagree. Feel free to convince me otherwise, people have changed my mind over certain issues before.
