SapereAude Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100714/us_time/08599200368200 Things of interest: In Switzerland it is illegal to social animals (specifically goldfish) alone. You must provide friends. Another country had a voter referendum that struck down (sanity at last!) a proposal to create a state funded group of lawyers to represent pets in court cases. I'm glad that the article at least points out that it seems animal "rights" are making headway while human rights are slipping away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisyang Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Its a flash back of primitive culture. In primitive culture, anything are gods except man. Monkey, rat, snake, and even pigs were given a status of deity, and man have to obey their command. Today, "deity" is an outdated concept, "right" is the latest and greatest hot selling gadget. Since whatever nonhuman creatures are being regard as gods, it is logical to donate the latest human intellectual product "right", in order to restore the gods' formal glory.
