I believe the mass cruelty was farming minks on a massive scale. Culling them is likely merciful in comparison. Never mind the fact that I'd happily trade 10 mi

- meddlepal 6y agoThis is a useless response that contributes nothing nor answers the question. You basically danced around the question and justified the plan based on some sort of appeal to emotion.
- Falling3 6y agoNo. It's addressing a nonsensical claim in the parent comment. It is relevant in the context of that comment. And it's no more an appeal to emotion that the original comment was - which is to say not at all.
- mkolodny 6y agoI think both are mass cruelty. The way we treat animals is the slavery of our time, if not much worse. We keep using words like "cull" instead of "kill" or "mass murder", as though it's not killing if the animal doesn't look like us. Just because you're more intelligent or more capable than a different kind of animal, that doesn't mean that your life is worth more than theirs. And it definitely doesn't mean your life is worth millions of times more than theirs.

If you have kids I hope you explain to them that in an emergency you are likely going to save the dog and not your child because "your life isn't worth more than the dog's."
