Animals are worth more

Darwinism-1.the theory of the evolution of species by natural selection advanced by Charles Darwin. My opponent acknowledges that humans evolved superior to the other animals. My opponent argues that this does not give us the right to treat them like nothing. He claims that there should be laws and regulations that make it socially unacceptable for humans to manipulate animals to ways they see fit. I will argue that humans have every right to manipulate animals to ways they see fit. I will argue first that there have been a number in incidences where animals do not care how humans feel. Than I will prove that the only reason why humans have thrived for so long is because of our manipulations of these inferior beings. Animal Moral- This argument by far is the weakest. First of all, morality is an idea that humans made to keep stability and order. Animals do not have a clue of what this idea is, and will never understand what this idea is. The basic instinct of an animal is to survive. Humans have surpassed this need. Let's just say humans were forced to live in the jungle again. There is a chance that the smarter and stronger humans will survive, but the weaker more compassionate humans will die. Here is the reason why: "Although wolf attacks do occur, their frequency varies with geographical location and historical period. Gray wolf attacks are dangerous not only for the victims, but for the wolves, who are often subsequently ended, or even extirpated in reaction. As a result, wolves today tend to live mostly far from people or have developed the tendency and ability to avoid them. The country with the most extensive historical records is France, where nearly 7,600 fatal attacks were documented from 1200"1920.[1] In modern times, they occur most often in India and neighboring countries. There are few historical records or modern cases of wolf attacks in North America. In the half-century up to 2002, there were eight fatal attacks in Europe and Russia, three in North America, and more than 200 in south Asia.[2] Experts categorize wolf attacks into various types, including rabies-infected, predatory, agonistic, and defensive." https://en.wikipedia.org... 7600 fatal attacks were documents from 1200-1920. Try compassion for these animals. Couger(Lion, Panther, and Bob Cat attacks) At least 20 people in North America were killed by cougars between 1890 and 2011, including six in California. More than two-thirds of the Canadian fatalities occurred on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Fatal cougar attacks are extremely rare and occur much less frequently than fatal dog attacks, fatal snake bites, fatal lightning strikes, or fatal bee stings.[citation needed] Children are particularly vulnerable. The majority of the child victims listed here were not accompanied by adults. Here are ten murders by Snakes: Canadian Boys while sleeping: The 2 boys were sleeping in an apartment that was above an exotic snake store. The owner had a python, and the python climbed up a series of vents. The python killed the 2 little boys. Boa Constrictor Almost Kills Texas Woman: Luckily, her daughter called the cops.

A lot of deaths stated were killings of owners. Why would a snake kill its owner? Don't you think the owner and the snake would have bonded? One might be thinking these are stupid questions, because they are stupid questions. Animals are proven to be incapable of feeling the emotions compassionate people do. Note(Animals kill animals too. I cannot provide statistics on how many animals kill animals per year, because it goes without saying. Animals survive off of eating other animals. My opponent cannot deny this truth.) Wasted effort-Note(If animals are endangered, than they should be cared for because it benefits humans) What do you have to gain when you are caring for animals that are not endangered. Nothing. It is really pointless to continue an effort that has no use. Animals sub-consciously follow Darwinian laws that state: 1.water 2.food 3.living space 4.homeostasis ( stable internal conditions/environment) If anything, people that start these organizations are doing more harm than good to animals. Animals have already found their place in the world. They live in jungles, forests, and deserts where they can survive. They don't need more protection. Stop watching cartoons. Stop looking at apes, and contemplate on what personality they have. Stop trying to edit natural laws that suit your sympathy for animals that don't even need it. Stop being na"ve.
