		<description>Luna89: i agree with your point. i hate it how, for example, it&#039;s illegal in most places to eat dog or cat, but it&#039;s perfectly legal to eat pig. i tried asking people about this. they often say that dogs and cats are smart, whereas pigs are stupid so it&#039;s ok to eat pigs. such people are stupid. the fact is that pigs are actually quite intelligent. however, people don&#039;t get emotionally attached to pigs as they do to dogs and cats. basically, the rule seems to be that if we&#039;re not emotionally attached to something, then it&#039;s OK to kill it. i think it&#039;s human nature. we are creatures of (irrational) emotion rather than logic.</description>

		<description>I get highly irritated when I hear this. About someone saying, &quot;aww poor cute little animal I hope the other animal who ate it, dies!&quot; you people sound completely ludicrous. The hungry so-called evil predator like a wolf or a snake has to die because he doesn&#039;t eat what you WANT him to eat! Much said as it is a sad fate for this cute little bird and it&#039;s unfortunate it had to end this way but predators are predators if they see a meal in front of them do you think they&#039;d say, &quot;Ah, no. Can&#039;t eat this one. It&#039;s some old ladie&#039;s pet bird. Gotta find myself dinner elsewhere.&quot; Or a wolf who sees a sheep, &quot;Ulp, can&#039;t eat her, she belongs to hard-working farmer. Huhhh... Better look somewhere else.&quot; No predators are not like that! If they see a tasty meal in front of them, they automatically think, &quot;Oh heck yeah, LUNCHTIME!&quot; Snakes wolves are the most predatorial animals I hear people complain about alot.  Grey Wolves and Pythons(and are my two favorite animals) And I see it from both perspectives. The people perspective if my dog who&#039;s really small, were to get eaten up by a snake You&#039;d think I&#039;d not want to get a hoe and lop off its head? The snake caused me pain so I&#039;m going to cause it PAIN! I&#039;m surprised the bird&#039;s owner didn&#039;t kill the snake. But these animals who feed upon other animals are just SURVIVING people. And I wish people would realize already. But I know if it happened to me I&#039;d feel the same way as all of you. So I guess it&#039;s half and half with me. But I lean more to the predator&#039;s side because I like them alot. And I&#039;m tired of people saying stupid things like the comments above all the time.</description>
