What I am looking for is do you think that an animal is a person. And what defines your belief in this either way.
The question is: Is a non-human animal a person? I am not asking if they are people that was a mistake, but if they each are persons. |
What is your definition of "person"?
To me, the answer is yes. They are living, feeling creatures trying to survive and so are we.
We "think" we have more power of reasoning, how can that be right? Animals cut about all day enjoying life and stay where there's shelter and food. While we, well we're worse off than ants in an ant farm. Slaving all day over completely unnatural jobs, unable to even see daylight, most of us. The birds in my garden look at me like an interloper when I come home, because they're here all day amusing themselves, they own the garden for more time than me. Where is the reason in that?
And Kazili, my dog killed a mouse a couple of weeks ago for running straight at me and making me squeal. Is a dog smarter than all of us?
