I think they should have done to them what they do to the animal and see how they like it :mad:

I think they have enough power giving them more would be danagous. The fones should be higher if they can PROVE the act was millicous
Can i ask what gives a human more right to live than an animal. You talk of inteligence defining the diference between animal and human. Following your logic I could kill you if I were more inteligent....

An interesting idea but wonder how much you really believe that everything has the same right to live - do you never kill spiders, swat flies or wasp's I wonder ? and do you never eat any sort of meat or fish ?

How about the bacteria that you kill in your gut when you eat?
Or the flies that splat on your windscreen (if you drive)
Never picked a flower?

With the talk of intelligence, why should a chimpanzee not be punished for killing a monkey?

Yes. I kill hundreds of flies, wasps, spiders and ants every year. In the past I have also hunted and killed rabbits & birds.

Bacteria being killed when i eat- i can't help that it is natural
I don't drive and a picked flower is a dead flower.

Humans are animals though, or do you feel we are some "higher" being?

I'm asking out of genuine interest, don't want you thinking I'm having a go :)

How can you differenciate between a human killing an animal and a chimpanzee killing an animal.
Both do it for food, both do it for pleasure.
