Why do humans kill everything in their path?

Question

Earlier today, I saw something that the rest of you would pass out seeing. A raccoon dog, being skinned for its fur, alive and without care. HE was still alive afterwards, drenched in blood and still bleeding. It was a picture and this poor dog lifted it's head up to see the camera. And died 3 minutes later. ....You all make me sick. Every single on of you...You damn humans only think of yourselves...you kill for food....you kill for entertainment.....you kill for fur.....you are TERRIBLE....You humans don't care about the lives of other animals. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELVES....I SERIOSLY HATE THE HUMAN RACE...I NO LONGER CONSIDER MYSELF A HUMAN. You poison poor dogs and cats in labs so they can test your new eyeliners and shampoos...You let them have needles shoved into their eyes and internal organs for testing...you let then get their heads decapitated off while in comeplete consciousness...you let them bleed...Animals are just liek us... Animals bleed just like we do... Animals are sad just like we are... Animals feel pain just like we do... Animals want to live just like we do... We are animals ourselves... WHY DON"T WE TEST ON EACHOTHER!?!?!?! WHY DO WE JUST ENJOY OUR LIVES WHILE OTHERS DONT?!?!?! ANIMALS RIGHT NOW HAE NO FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING. I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE BEING HUMANS BECAUSE I HATE IT. I DON'T WANT TO BE HUMAN. I HATETHE HUMAN RACE. GO KILL YOURSELVES!!!!!!

Answer 1

First, the major reason why a human kills most of the other life forms that it kills is as it doesn't notice them... the life forms are too little... next up, why do mammals like dogs & cats & so on not kill us? It's genetic/memetic learning... our defence/defense policy has been outstandingly successful... few if any animals have wiped out that many humans over the past thirty or so years...& very few mammals...

However, bacteria have slaughtered us by the million & will probably do so again... so, given a chance, some animals will take liberties... just like a dog will kill a rabbit or whatever...

Where does this leave us? Go vegetarian/vegan? Well, what about plants? They are living too... so what about just eating whatever has 'fallen from the tree', as it were... well, all THAT stuff is covered 'n bacteria... many of which we 'kill' on eating...

& as one previous poster points out, humans are not prejudiced, they will slaughter other humans...

So, chances for a paradise from wishful thinking ever arriving?

Zero - I suspect...

Do you hate me? If you do, & voice that you do, then what motivation do I have for adopting your viewpoint... & why hate those who would faint? why hate those who are perhaps ignorant of what is going on?

Is 'pain' what you cannot stand seeing another suffer?

Answer 2

Zuckie, I feel exactly the same. The Raccoon Dog video was so disturbing that I just wanted to kill everyone in China.Humans are not superior. We do not belong on planet earth. We are killing the earth and everything on it.Every living creature lives in harmony with the earth, accept humans. If God made us in his image He would have died years ago and probably of cancer. The human race is like a virus trying to take over it's host (earth). The animal cruelty & abuse makes me more angry than anything else.

Answer 3

You have so much compassion for animals, that you hate human animals for making other animals suffer?

That's very tricky, being both compassionate and hateful at the same time. But it often happens... In what respect do you sympathisize with all animals, and yet hate certain subsets? I suppose what you really want is to ameliorate this contradiction -- that you both care for (have an affinity) and despise (have an enmity) the same category. But such contradictions might be the basis for emotional outbursts -- expressions of rage, whereas hatred requires no contradiction.

Can we despise another whom we do not also care for in some respect? Or is it possible to alienate an enemy from any human dignity, any sense of respect, such that I do not see myself in them, and find no meaningful re-definition of myself in their slaughter? To such an extent, the reality of hatred disappears-- and they are completely objectified.

Insofar as we have a hateful relationship to true objects, is it not so that we also must personify them?

I suppose there are just aspects of animal-hood that you love and others you hate, and wish nothing more than the hateful components to disappear where possible. But to wish death on those sectors that share in the hateful quality seems at odds with your affinity for animals as such. Or do you have an affinity only for non-killing (however you want to define this: non murdering, non-intentionally or wastefully destroying) animals? In which case, your hatred is misplaced.

Answer 4

We Kill Everything

Answer 5

Hey sonic ,calm down! We are all appalled by the needless devastation of animal lives.It starts with your dog and ends up with baby seals and what not. there are no excuses and once something like this has entered your mind, unfortunately it will stay there forever.you have to understand that not all humans are what you think we are.you are absolutely right to hurt over what you saw and certainly speak your mind.I am with you sister.And because I have seen something myself, I have made it a point never to look at any footage of anything like this again.hell...I cant even watch animal planet for this very reason.
So do yourself a huge favor in life, stop looking at things like this because not only will this disrupt your life,it will gnaw on your well being and mind.human nature can make you ill if you look at the devastation destruction and needless killing of anything.this also includes many children slaughtered in the name of nothingness.Gruesome experiments on humans leading to a terrible death throughout history. I am sure its still happening.So all animals, including us, are part of the prey for those who chose to devastate.Remember my friend we are on your side.

Answer 6

i wish the world could see this the way you and I see it because I feel exactly the same way. i love animals desperately and i watched a Peta video once and threw up all over. im vegetarian for the very reason that i dont want an innocent animal being killed because of me. i hate being human because humans are monsters. evil ones too because they know better. i wish ppl could understand the pain an animal goes through. its not fair.

'GO KILL YOURSELVES'

We do....

Now I am going to bounce myself off this other fellows answer to your plaintiff cry.


'You have so much compassion for animals, that you hate human animals for making other animals suffer? '

It is not a quantity of something, it is the existence of that constituent of human essence
in its innocence that projects it's positive essence on others, and when contradicted, boggles the mind, creates doubt (a resistence in the mind) and enrages the negative spiritual essence to destroy that resistence. Unfortunately there is no object for that resistence, except the body of the other that has done contrary to that positive constituent of human essence.

'That's very tricky, being both compassionate and hateful at the same time.'

Yes. Animals are like us and we are like animals, with at least one exception: we can be inhuman. This person is speaking like an inhumanized human.

'But it often happens... In what respect do you sympathisize with all animals, and yet hate certain subsets?'

Pain and fear.

'I suppose what you really want is to ameliorate this contradiction -- that you both care for (have an affinity) and despise (have an enmity) the same category. But such contradictions might be the basis for emotional outbursts -- expressions of rage, whereas hatred requires no contradiction.'

Both require contradiction.

'Can we despise another whom we do not also care for in some respect? '

Yes: This is named psychological conflict, love/hate ambivalence or the Unhappy Consciousness.

'The Phenomenology of Mind

— B —
Self Consciousness

B: Freedom of Self-Consciousness — Stoicism: Scepticism:
The Unhappy Consciousness
Free Self-Consciousness
Φ 197. Independent self-consciousness partly finds its essential reality in the bare abstraction of Ego. On the other hand, when this abstract ego develops further and forms distinctions of its own, this differentiation does not become an objective inherently real content for that self-consciousness. Hence this self consciousness does not become an ego which truly differentiates itself in its abstract simplicity, or one which remains identical with itself in this absolute differentiation. The repressed and subordinate type of consciousness, on the other hand, becomes, in the formative activity of work, an object to itself, in the sense that the form, given to the thing when shaped and moulded, is his object; he sees in the master, at the same time, self-existence as a real mode of consciousness. But the subservient consciousness as such finds these two moments fall apart — the moment of itself as an independent object, and the moment of this object as a mode of consciousness, and so its own proper reality. Since, however, the form and the self-existence are for us, or objectively in themselves, one and the same, and since in the notion of independent consciousness the inherent reality is consciousness, the phase of inherent existence (Ansichsein) or thinghood, which received its shape and form through labour, is no other substance than consciousness.'

Answer 8

Ooooo...Somebody has been skipping her medicine.

I suggest that you follow the example of Jesus. As he was being nailed on the cross, he forgave his executioners.

I believe that compassion and forgiveness, given generously and often, are the key to being a successful person.

Answer 9

I dont see how killing ourselves would put an end to all this killing you talk about. Oh well, see you on the other side.

Answer 10

Go kill ourselves? We already are.
