Animals and Rights.

This has bothering me for a while now. I've been struggling with trying to find a good justification for my position on animal rights. To simplify my position in a single sentence, I think it's unethical for humans to kill/torture any animals that are "cute", but it's ok to do so to "ugly" animals. And for some time I've come to the conclusion that my justification sucks, but I found it too difficult to try to find a better justification, and way too painful to simply change my position entirely. So I've been ignoring the subject entirely until now. And since I can't stop thinking about it now, I really need to find to find a logical standpoint with logical justifications so that my mind can be at ease. And I think you guys can help me. So, Secular Sevens + The public forum people, I would like to know your positions on animal rights and your justifications. EDIT: My stance has changed and I'm currently working on defining/polishing it.

  • Aside from the legitimate reasons to kill an animal (self defense, food, fishing, accidental road kill, etc), killing animals is pretty bad. Like the kind of people that murder their neighbor's pet cat(s) for no reason or just because they hate cats. Those dou­chebags should rot in jail.
