Discussions about specific materials / a good word and a question

« on: August 14, 2010, 11:59:51 AM »

First, I wanted to commend you on the extraordinary work you did to create this website.

I think the material, especially the invested multimedia articles, is the most convincing stuff on the internet.
I wish every activist will examine deeply this material and will come to the same conclusion you did.


In addition, I wanted to know if a multimedia articles on vivisection and the beef industry are in the planning.
(I didn't find such ones)

Thanks.

Discussions about specific materials / "Most of the creatures suffer most of the time."

« on: June 26, 2010, 02:04:03 PM »

In the FAQ section ("But life is not only suffer, there are good parts in life too"), you stated that "Most of the creatures suffer most of the time."
http://only-one-solution.net/faq/but_life_is_not_only_suffer_there_are_good_parts_too.html

Is there a place in the website where  you explain/give-details how did you come up with this conclusion?
I didn't find such place.

Your answer to the claim "But life is not only suffer, there are good parts in life too" contains a human example but this example does not indicate the suffering percentage of the creature during his daily life. This person might be miserable but still it doesn't mean he/she will suffer most of the time (and you recognize that: "Of course it doesn’t mean she can’t be happy").

I understand why slaved ants can be categorized as creatures who suffer most of the time. But a random insect? I assume that to most of the insects it takes time until their "15-60 minutes of hell" (their death journey), time in which they do not suffer.

I'm not claiming by any means that if most creatures do not suffer most of the time, that the solution to the suffering problem should be a different one than the one given in your website.

Thanks!

Discussions about specific materials / The spay and neuter argument

« on: June 26, 2010, 06:58:38 AM »

I think this argument is not constructed as well as the other ones.

For example:
"3,242 humans die from car accidents every day and they don’t care, so do you really think they will stop because of a few million cats?"
I'm not familiar with one activist who dedicates his time for stopping people from driving due to trampled cats (or to argue with someone on this matter). This sentence just doesn't seem grounded in reality.

And later, you return to this idea "so you most definitely can't convince them to stop because they might hurt cats."


Also, the sentence "It is even ridicules to say that it is unrealistic to change humans' relation towards animals." is not clear enough. I guess I know what you meant, but still...

Discussions about specific materials / Other AR organizations response

« on: June 04, 2010, 07:11:35 AM »

[Since this question sounds a bit irritating, I'm going to remove it if it doesn't get answered within two days. I ask because it is an interesting subject.]

On the manifest, you wrote:

"Of course it is obvious and of course some organizations figured that out. But don’t you think it says something?
What exactly did those organizations say? That they know it is the only way to stop the suffer (otherwise how did they guess) but they are not interested in helping?!"


Was the website already running during this period of time?
If so, they didn't guess, it said so on the website, no?

Thanks.

Discussions about specific materials / "constituting the torture"

« on: May 19, 2010, 05:29:15 AM »

Hello, what do you mean when saying the phrase in the subject in the following paragraph:

"... most of the activists are speciesists. They devote their time constituting the torture, practically accepting humans' dominance."

If you had to use a different word, not "constituting", what would it be?

Thanks.
