Plenty, but you’ll still get hated on by a lot of people who have trouble accepting this fact.


Just keep your eyes open instead of asking out loud. You’ll run into them sooner or later.

I feel hated. As for the fetish thing, thats only that small creepy section of us. Most of us just enjoy drawing animals and feel that humanity is so much more... hateful... Animals don't hate, they don't care wether you are black, white, gay, lesbian or straight. They love you just the same.

I feel you, Maddy. Humanity sucks because of all the hate they spew here and there.

Also the fact that animals tend to be easier to draw than people.

"Animals don't hate...."

Prove it. And if you think you can prove it, think again.

Your thoughts are founded on false dichotomy - humans are animals, and if animals don't hate then neither do we.

(I am being very kind today, and not posting videos of animals torturing other animals, or keeping them alive to be eaten at a later date, or using their paralyzed bodies to lay their eggs in, or a million other examples of horrific behaviour.)
MaddyTheLizard [2652071]
Animals "torturing" each other is merely instinct. They don't do it because it makes them laugh, or because the other animal is a different color. As for humans being animals, that is a matter of opinion. If you are like me and believe humans are a higher race, you will agree. If you don't, well... I'm not going to force my opinions on you.
Sepulchrave [2092631]
Yup - you sound like a furry. Full of romantic ideas about animals you don't know a thing about, which lead you to create false dichotomies between "us and them" and attribute simplistic ideas to complicated territorial and social behaviours.

It's bullshit, but if you wish to remain a child, it's your life. Don't be surprised, however, when people laugh at you for being an idiot.
Angel_Dust [1966907]
Horrifying to us, but since those behaviors are necessary for their survival, they don't count. Animals lack the higher brain functonings we humans have so can't form concepts such as torture methods of species or sexualities they don't like.
SporkMonkey [2065017]
Prove what we call hate is a form of higher brain function and not part of a base instinct.

You are humanizing animals, projecting what you assume is only for "higher brain function."

Is picking up a ball and playing an organized game with it a higher brain function? Because dolphins use puffer fish as a ball in their dolphin games.
Angel_Dust [1966907]
You're also confused on what projecting even is. It would be projecting if I did attach human concepts to animals such as them knowing and acting on hatred but I don't. Its the opposite. Animals don't act on certain things like humans do. I've yet to see evidence of, say, a giraffe proclaiming they are the best species because of their height whilst starting a race war with all zebras or whatever. If you can show us proof of animal behavior along that vein outside of typical predatory instinct, then we all can believe you. If not, good bye.
