Any animal bred simply to provide food/clothing would not have been alive had it not been for that human intervention so if it wasn't for us it wouldn't have had a "life"......
....but does that give us the "right" to treat it badly before "humanely" killing it!
Sharks aren't bred for food, yet are routinely hauled from the Pacific, have their fins hacked off and then unceremoniously dumped back overboard, ALIVE!
Whales are highly intelligent creatures that don't survive long in captivity and certainly aren't on the cards for battery farming, they're a natural resource that was being rapidly exterminated until the global "ban" was brought in, even so Norway and Japan continued to "take" whales for so called scientific "research", presumably to try to prove that some whales eat fish! Factory fishing has decimated global fish stocks, including Anthony's North Sea Cod. When humanity was merely looking to be self-sufficient (as is the way in a natural environment) there was plenty of fish in the sea and it regularly repopulated itself, back then we didn't even need battery hens to supply enough eggs for Mrs Miggins to make her pies cos they were sold locally, but now they're marketed globally to get a bigger profit.
None of this is ever going to be "right", but just consider our own callousness and selfishness when it comes to the lives and safety of fellow peoples around the world suffering from drought (and I don't mean a hosepipe ban in Surrey) and famine. Whatever troubles we visit upon the animal kingdom, it pales into insignificance when you consider the actions (and INACTIONS) humanity commits upon itself!
We can each do something each day to make peoples or animals (especially the wild ones) lives a little better.  |
