IMO, farmed livestocks have no inherent rights because they are purely a human creation. They would not have existed if humans did not create them for food. Non-existing things have no rights, and because we bestow them their existence, its up to us to give them whatever rights, if any.
On the other hand, wild animals should have inherent rights to live freely because they are a product of nature. We did not create them, hence we have no right to mistreat or destroy them.

March 19, 2009 at 11:04 AMI think people who eat seafood are doing a lot more damage than those eating farmed livestocks. The majority of seafood is still harvested straight from the sea, i.e. from the wild, resulting in many fish species being threatened with extinction.
On the other hand, the dogs in cages ( in the original photos ) were intentionally bred for food, so eating them does not endanger the species.
I believe in animal rights for wild animals, because I think humans should respect and protect nature. But farmed livestocks are not natural, they are intentionally created by humans for food, and foods have no rights.

I think Sam Neil is right.
Red Meat - We were meant to eat it.

March 18, 2009 at 3:24 AMI don't get how this is different from farming chicken, cattle, rabbits, kangaroos, etc in other countries. As long as we are not hunting endangered wild animals (like whales), its fine by me.

March 13, 2009 at 4:02 AMI think there is confusion here between vampire and zombie. I reckon this episode is really about vampires, not zombies.
