I saved a caterpillar at work today. Wriggling around on the tile floor. Looked creepy but I knew it would become a pretty moth.

vegan schizo is on a roll huh? why are the dinosaur threads dead?

i wonder

hey op, this is a dog website, when we say animal we mean dogs, go back bugredditor

It's basically anthropomorphisation; we can't empathise with creatures that don't look like us.

Case in point - octopi. They're clever and intelligent and even dream, but we treat them even WORSE than livestock.

That's how empathy works

if people can just choose what to empathize with civilization collapses. also, valuing life based on intelligence is a modern and mostly self-defeating cult.

Same. We had a pill bug in the back room, somehow turned over on his back, wiggling all his tiny legs helplessly. I scooped him up and put him outside in the flower pot.

Intelligence is the reason society DIDN'T collapse. All low IQ human civilisations are barely that.

>if people can just choose what to empathize with
Smart people can.

Both ends are essential to society anon. Civilization is using the working class as a resource to operate, Brilliant people are needed to properly maintain well-functioning civilization.

The reason the site thrives is because you took the bait like what any working class human being driven by emotions would do.

>Smart people can
You THINK you can (midwit.), but you actually have voluntary sympathy and work yourself up into neurotic fits because you subconsciously virtue signal as a status seeking activity. Hence you instantly link it to intelligence, which is a measure of your worth.

You don't actually exhibit signs of high intellectual development. You are basically a monkey parroting the call that's in fashion due to this civilization being in its liberal decadence phase
>ME KIND MAN ME THOUGHTFUL ME CARE ABOUT THE ANIMAL!
Alas liberty is a false value and freedom necessarily coalesces into order.

>hypocrites
they're fake. if they have to tell people especially on social media that they like animals, they dont.

>you have to like all life period you cant just like some animals
i bet this goy hates ticks

>unironically resisting the urge to brain troglodytes who think hissing roaches are gross because they can only empathize with an animal if they find it cute

To ascend past your normie anthropomorphy instincts is divine, actually

>pretending to like pests because they are metaphorically equivalent to you

'wahh you have to love everything equally'
