I was thinking more about what I find wrong about Singer’s view: it’s immoral to cause any being unnecessary pain. One difficulty is that it flies in the face of the modernist Copernican perspective of our place in the universe: i.e. we’re not so special. Taken on face value the rule would have us judge every living organism as cruel and immoral. Felines play with their food, arachnids cocoon their captives alive, bot flies lay their eggs just below the epidermis of living animals (including humans) etc. I see only two ways out of this judgment. One is to claim that with one exception, the beasts of nature are not the sort of creatures who behaviors have moral content; i.e. they are not moral agents. Only the actions of human being can be moral or immoral and Singer’s rule should only apply to moral agents. This solution, of course, runs counter to the Copernican perspective of our place in the universe, and puts us back in the center of things. Another way out of the conundrum is to interpret “unnecessary” rather loosely. That’s the only way spider’s can feed, cats sharpen their hunting skills by playing with their food and so on. But then one can claim that cock fighting was and is “necessary” for the cultural and social cohesion of those who practice it. I’m still with peggygee on this one, but I have trouble finding a ground for my prejudice other than just saying: I don’t like cruelty to animals and I don’t condone it.

I prefer dog fighting. Dogs are much more viscious then chickens.
Some of you nancy asses would never survive if not for your nice safe non-darwinian play nice laws.

Non-Darwinian laws? You think humanity should be based in "survival of the fittest"? I'm sorry but that's bullshit. If your kid was seriously sick would you let him die becuase he's not fit to live or would you move heaven and earth to save your child's life?
Don't give me crap about Darwinism. Darwin untangled the way way that life evolves, he did not suggest a moral philosophy.
If you force two dogs to fight, that's not Darwinism, nor is it natural. It's barbarism, plain and simple.

I'd like to know who the five motherfuckers were that voted for the top three categories. For their sick thoughts they should be put in a ring and have the living shit kicked out of them!
Why is there a choice in the title of this thread. The creator is a sick fuck also!
Michael Vick if found guilty, which it looks like he will be, should be jailed for life with one queer hungry three hundred pound cellmate with a twelve inch dick. Then maybe he'll change his opinion on cockfighting, dogfighting and any other gross treatment of defenseless animals.
