the right to live # 2

Do we have right to kill animals to eat ? of course we have the right to eat animals, but even though we can still survive without killing animals to eat. we don't lose the right to kill the animals.
Animals kills animals to survive, is really simple. is the food web, but what about the animals that are surviving in a terrible environment, the people who raise them just raise them for us to eat. They grow up just for us to eat. there are no no freedom... people raise them in a small place, if the people have 100 meter square of land, and only raise 10 caws. the framer still have to pais the money to keep the land, but if you raise 100 caws, you will have to pay the same amout of money for the land, but you get more money on raising the cows. thinking about how can we raise them in a quicker way. and a better way. normally If the animals have 5 years to grow up from baby to a big animals. if they can make them have 3 years to grow , they can raise more money in a quicker way. but the animals has forced to eat more chemicals and more stuff that can help them grow faster in a shorter time.
and still we keep the right to killing animals. we love meat. If we don't need meat. why we raise them ? we the people.. always do somethings for some reason. if we don't eat them, then we can just leave them in wild.

yes of course
no thank you

the right to live

Right is right, >\\<> right is something that you are allowed, it somethings you are born, just kidding with it is something that you don't need to earn but you might lose them if you are not a good right keeper.......
Some animals just like too many, or harm us, makes us want to kill it, i think the kind of animals that are just harm us, still have the right to live, but we don't really respect, somethings like mosquitoes, they harm to human, they are just useless. that a things that we think that are no right to survive. some animals like there are too many, that moment when we kill them, we think that they are still plenty of them, around the world, Some animals have the merit to watch, to entertain us, that part of somethings that they can do for us, so we keep them, we respect their right, they are useful to us. I think that we respect a animal depends on what they can do for us, what kind of merit they have and how special they are, if there are too many pandas all around the world, i don't think humans will keep them in zoo for us to watch.

some animals like frogs that we that are easier to get, are more suitable for us to dissect, you won't feel bad after you kill them. but when we dissect some animals that are useful to us i don't think that we are comfortable dissect them, human use the what they have for us, and they deserve to live, and provided us what they have.

For me i think that every things have the right to live or to doing what they have right to do, but sometime, sometimes human ignore those rights. they have right to survive, but then it depends on how people think about those animals, i think if people are not tried to kill them, they must have somethings that human can used.it pretty much the same things when you are cleaning your bedroom, you keep things that are useful to you, and remove all the junk away, of course all the junks have the rights to stay in your room, but all of those junks are not useful, they are wasting up space. they are not useful to you, so you don't keep them.
