'Planet of the Apes' Depiction of Lab Animals 'Disturbingly Accurate'
That vid could be in a vet clinic or zoo! The animal looks like it's shot with a tranq, prob to protect it & the people (sounds like it was going nuts). The facemasks are for...well we know what chimps throw, also to protect both the chimp & humans from diseases. The 'caring' touching of hands toward the end show that there's possibly some compassion in the room.
Nothing sinister or inhumane there, unless I missed something
as much as this digusts me, and all those animal cruelty docos as well, we've got to get our priorities right and start with 'humans' that are suffering dreadful conditions ie famines, disease, abuse, torture, enslavement etc.
i'm sorry, i don't get people getting worked up about chickens when there are so many tragedies happening to our fellow man
The point is we are an organism like any other living thing on earth we live in an anthropocentric world where man sees himself as the most important being. We have reached a world population of 7 billion the world can sustain roughly 2 billion.
Every year millions of organisms whether they be man, wildebeest, frog, fish die from famine drought etc its just that we think we are more important than everything else that we see its a problem.
We are the cane toads of the planet.
You hear the argument all the time when a topic such as the plight of the Gorillas in Africa is raised.. And somebody pops up and says;
Man has spirit and soul I dont get that! in certain populations as recently as 80 years ago men were still eating each other, men were herding millions of other men women and children into gas chambers and gassing them, chimps, gorillas, chooks, were living as they had for thousands of years surviving in harmony. While we believe we are the most important organism to be preserved at all cost the planet is doomed.
It would be ironic if the chimps in the video were being used to test human vaccines to vaccinate the starving millions so they can live a little bit longer in a F%^$ed up world that cant be sustained
Where does the soul or spirit of man fit into the carbon, hydrogen, Oxygen, nitrogen trace element molecules we are made of. I would love to believe we have some sort of other dimension to our make-up but it just aint happenin for me.
Soul, spirit, religion in my opinion are all crutches that mankind leans on in times of need a false sense of security easy to believe in from the comfort of a developed nation
what are you guys- robots!!!!..
are you telling me you've never been emotionally moved by anything.
why don't you slip next door and kill your neighbour and rape his wife,is it only the law that stops you or do you have some morals- where does that come from?
thats the difference between animals and humans
you have it in you whether you like it or not
Animals have the same base emotions we have , fear , sadness , anger , joy ect. The difference being we are a more evolved animal , well some of us anyway.
The more I know humans the more I like my pets!
My pets donate me unconditional love...... I wish I could say the same about my wife!
