Raising Gators for Table Fare

[Pampho85]

I wasn't trying to provoke anyone by stating that, and I apologize. But, to make my point, once again I don't intend to offend anyone, pigs, are supposed to be just as smart as some dogs, and there are people who are trying to use them for their sense of smell and such. A few years back, after talking to some zoologists (local zoo), they even stated that they (pigs) were just as smart as dogs, and can be trained to do the same things, if not more. Does that mean we shouldn't slaughter pigs either? In my view, we shouldn't have one species higher than others, no matter how much we idealize it. There are dozens of other countries that idealize animals that we in the states eat. India - cow, Some parts of Africa - sheep, etc.

It seems a bit unfair that someone would pick one animal to be a higher rank than others, sure dogs save lives, but, if you look into account, pigs have been known to do the same. Heck, even cows in some other countries do protect people. Yet, they don't discriminate against eating them.

All animals should be treated equally, and not one should be put above any other. But, that's just my philosophy, I'm not forcing it onto anyone, it's just the way I see things.

I don't mean to offend you Mike or anyone else, not in any way slightest. And I apologize if I have.
