But a dog torturer? Who does it for a holiday??? No. Im not degrading myself by even trying to think about what goes on in their in-human minds. And it offends me that someone would even expect me to degrade and damage myself by trying to understand something even lower than an abomination. Don't you mean their "human" minds, since it seems that according to you it is a very human thing to want to torture dogs? Just wondering: are you ok with torturing humans? You seem to think killing and raping humans is fine.

Leave your paranoid accusations of being a China-sympathizer at the tin-foil-lounge please. Rest assured, I deeply hate china and it is consumed with my rage. My only wish is that the UN takes hostile action to the chinese villages that torture dogs, because the chinese government wont do anything. And nobody wants to do anything about it. So people need to do something about it, by any means neccessary. Any means, and I don't care. The mere fact that these people are allowed to exist is sickening and disturbs me deeply. It also disturbs me that you would even think I would be a sympathizer of the chinese government. I dont even like america but i would sooner join the ranks of america than serve china. My apologies for being unclear. I said this: "It rather seems to me that you don't want people to agree with you, therefore you select the position that is most likely to discourage agreement. It's an old trick, but seasoned campaigners can usually see through it - often before the practitioner does." I don't know how you converted this into me accusing you of being a Chinese sympathiser. Let me try again. In most and probably all of the positions you adopt you do not wish anyone to agree with you. You wish to be the isolated voice condemning the rest. To do this you present the extremity of each position. As I noted before it is an old debating trick, often favoured by the young who think they have invented it. I don't have an issue with you using this approach. It's very silly, but that your choice. Everyone has a right to be silly.

I hate humanists because they are the heros of humanity, defender of the sick sad species. Thus i specically target my hatred to such flagships who defend the sick sad species. The defining feature of humanist ideology is the belief that ethics and morality are a human construction rather than derived from a supernatural, divine source. Any additional ideology regarding animal rights is coincidental and irrelevant to humanist ideology. You're using the term incorrectly. 3

This is not the first time you have made posts that aim to do nothing more than insult other members and add zero intelligent discourse into the discussion. This is against forum rules, and since you are a repeat offender of this, I feel that I should note that continued infractions will lead to further action.

I don't get how much more about ethics it can get. I'm saying China is evil because it does not stop-dog torture.

Also, that makes you a hypocrite. Which dog can talk? Show me. Evidence. Sources. Now. My dog can talk. Also some dogs on youtube can talk. You will probably think the video staged and fake, so the main point you should take is that dogs can communicate. Can dogs communicate with their owners without talking? Yes. Im not a hypocrit because my avatar is a villian and I never said I was holy. I merely point out that human society is hypocrits and unholy. When I eat meat I admit that I am evil when I eat meat. But humans cannot even do that. And that is what I can't stand about it. I cant stand a society that goes around saying it is good when it is evil.

" If you don't know what they think then you shouldn't decide that you hate them for thinking it, should you? Did you think that through? I'm also willing to bet that you were banned for failing to comply with the vegan forum's rules. Most sites tell you those rules when you join up, and they explain that use of the forum indicates that you agree to abide by those rules. How ethical would it be to sign up, then break the rules? Is that the sort of hypocrisy that you accuse humanity of? Well, perhaps you have a point, but you need a mirror. They didnt cite any rule violations. They just, more or less, they arbitrarily judged my posts and didn't like the aesthetics. Also, rule-breaking is not always unethical. If the world is comprised of private organizations, the majority of which have ridiculous rules, eventually you have to bite the bullet and submit to one of these organizations and follow the fascist rules. I didn't make the rules, so it's not like I'm breaking anything I would normally consent to.

Why would it since the only mention of cruelty are the only things that required citations, but you're welcome to provide your own. Quote Throughout the 10 days of festivities dogs are paraded in wooden crates and metal cages and are taken to be skinned and cooked for consumption of festival attendants and local residents.[citation needed] Quote Animal rights activists and campaigners, however, claim that the animals are "treated abominably", based on photographs of the event.[citation needed]
