I am an avid hunter, fisherman, and farmer, and as such have occasion to spend numerous hours working in or enjoying the great outdoors. My religious beliefs also provide extensive opportunity to interact with some of God's smaller creations. To my dismay, many people who have spent their entire lives in the vast paved cities that dot the US landscape feel compelled to speak out about animals, their treatment, and their rights. Of course there are big time operations that campaign for better treatment of animals. They sign up dozens of stars and public personalities to try to convince you to change your ways. Other groups take a more radical stance, burning down animal testing labs and such. Such groups are usually composed of loose knit packs of individuals who are seldom aware of the plans of their cohorts. I would like to take the opportunity to expose the ignorance of these self styled whale savers to the readers of Adequacy. |

Led by a delusional group of extremists who think that nature is fed by mercy, the animal rights crowd wants to eliminate the lifestyle practiced by 98% of Americans. While the end game of the animal rights activists is to eradicate the entire human population from the face of the earth, their current projects include denying you medical treatment, stealing away your pets, ending all hunting, and forcing women to freeze to death in the winter. It is plain to see that these groups are a threat to decent society as they appear more than willing to commit acts of blatant terrorism to further their evil goals. Even while the nation faces one of its most trying times ever, these people will not relent.
They count as their bretheren the 80s icon for depravity Boy George. No decent person would ever care to associate themselves with such filth, thus we must assume that the entire animal rights movement is awash with deviancy and immorality. Despite this truth their arguments should not simply be dismissed, they must be completely dismantled so that future generations will not doom themselves by repeating their mistakes. We shall take a look at two of the main arguments raised by the underground terrorists: Animals Have Rights Obviously false. As noted by many well respected philosophers, animals certainly do not have rights. They lack Free Will, given to humans by God, and cannot make judgements based on morality. Thus they do not have rights. As anyone can see, animals will not hesitate to take a bite out of one of us for no reason at all, which shows a callous disregard for our feelings and is certainly not indicative of a respectful creature. Humans don't go around biting each other. Even if a person cannot be convinced by the evidence above they must agree with the assertion that most animals happily give up any rights that they may have been ascribed by a few ignorant humans. Medical and cosmetic testing has gone on for dozens of years. Countless chimps, goats, rabbits and such have freely given their lives to make our lives better. How else can one explain that these lab animals continue to reproduce, providing us with an unending supply of test subjects? It is almost as if they know that if allowed to roam free they would lead much worse lives. It is Immoral to Kill Animals More garbage from the animal rights thugs. For a people who claim to want humans to improve their treatment of animals this is an untenable position. In the eyes of most it would be far more cruel to eat an animal while it is still alive than to simply kill it first. I love animals as much as the next guy but the inescapable fact is that animals account for an important source of sustenance for many of us. Whether we kill the animal ourselves or have someone else do it for us, we all need to eat, thus kill, for survival. Of course there are alternatvies to eating meat, namely vegetarianism, but those people tend to be sickly, pasty, weaklings and no one wants to be in that position. At its core the question of the morality of killing animals is pointless. It is simply the lot of human beings. We were given dominion over the animal kingdom by God and killing them simply fills our ecological niche, and our stomachs. Morality doesn't enter the equation for us, no more than it did for these animals. Animals are nourishing, tasty, and plentiful, why bother ourselves with fretting over the morality of using them for our own ends? They would turn the tables if they could.
Don't fall in with the Jeremy Rifkinds of the world (author of the extremist book Beyond Beef and direct descendant of mass murderer Joel Rifkind). Stay on the straight and narrow. Keep eating meat, keep buying products tested on animals, and keep taking medication. You'll not only live a better life, but you'll be contributing to the gainful employment of thousands of our animal friends.
