Rant over!!

good rant.

i think a lot of people believe that humans are superior to (other) animals because some religions say so

Aren't you forgetting my pampered pets?

Cattle farmed for milking have a really rough time btw...plus it's acceptable for milk to consist of up to 1% puss (caused by the mastitis)...nice!

The cows still form a bond with their calves...which is why they make so much noise for so long when they're separated

Then the cows get made pregnant again so the cycle starts all over...probably using AI and not real nooky!

All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there was no meat, I would say 'Yo Goober! Where's the meat!?'.

You don't win friends with salad

No, its because we have evolved to the top of the food chain, and are capable of ovecoming adapting and controling our surroundings and enviroment to meet our needs and wants.

Therefore Natural selection and Darwin say we are above all other animals, hence we get to choose which ones to eat!!
