    WHAT FUCKING HUNGRY PEOPLE DID YOU FEED THAT ELEPHANT TO, JACKASS?! Show them to me. Right now. And would those people have preferred chicken, or pork, or beef, or goat? Yes. BECAUSE NO ONE FUCKING EATS ELEPHANT. Do you know how I know this? Because when poachers kill them, they leave the carcass to rot. And if there's any group in the world who will not miss out on making a buck, it's fucking poachers.

    ALSO, something cannot be "very unique," you turdmonster. By the very definition of unique, something is unique or it is not. Dumbass.

      Actually, this isn't exactly true most animal management people view Bush meat as a bigger threat to survival than Ivory.

    I think the word he is looking for is speciest and I think he actually has a point. I'm not down with humans killing elephants or any animals (my opinion and one I typically keep to myself). I think it's hypocritical for people, especially westerners, to find killing elephants, dolphins and dogs horrific but killing pigs, cows and chickens completely acceptable and even necessary.

    I think South Park covered this many years ago.

      I think there is a distinction between an elephant with 9 billion neurons in its cerebral cortex (we have 11 billion) and a chicken with no cerebral cortex at all.

      But then how do you account for pigs being killed for food? And at least in the US, eating rabbits and guinea pigs are frowned upon; most likely because they're cute. And if people in other countries are ok with eating elephants or dolphins, who are Westerners to say anything? Sure Westerners could say oh it's bc intelligence, but they're are so many contradictions to that, I think that it's entirely bs. Plus, westerners may not eat elephants, but they definitely don't mind treating them inhumanely, zoos and circuses, which given how intelligent they are, is especially cruel.

    What is with so called 'sportsmen hunters' that don't even level the playing field? Fucking cowards should use a spear or stay home.

    EDIT: (I mean that literally. I am a spear hunter.)

      That's what I've been saying for years. Mount some guns on the animals with electronic tracking systems that automatically aim towards the hunter. Anything else is for cowards.

    Do you realize that if you subscribe to that philosophy you are committing a very unique form of animal racism?

    As I always say: If you're going to be an animal racist, be distinctive! Be different! Craft your very own "unique" brand!

    I mean, we've got enough of the run-of-the-mill, standard animal racists out there as it is.

    (Related: What does "unique" mean?)

      So we should shoot house cats and puppies, just to even out the "racism" inflicted upon deer and rabbits? Dude, just admit you like to kill things. That it makes you feel good and all "Ork!!" to kill things, especially creature that can't fight back. I'd still think you're an asshole, but I'd think of you as a clean-rimmed asshole rather than an asshole with a nasty brown ring around the pucker.

      No. The answer is 'no.'

      Pretty sure if he was, his response would be, "But how can you prove that there aren't any left, huh? How do I know that you're not racist against all the other, populated animals?"

      Sometimes... there's just too much stupid in one person.
