Thanks for daring to add your critique into the pile, scriver, that was very mature and brave of you.

Yoink: you, or anyone.

Personally, if I see a mouse I try to kill it because they're nothing but pests - and whether they can feel pain or terror (I'm pretty sure they can) is, to me (and I believe most people), not something I care about.

On the other hand, if a bat somehow manages to get indoors, I take the time to get it back outside alive (without touching it) because bats eat mosquitoes, and mosquitoes are terrible.

Chickens seem a bit more intelligent than mice, of course, but to get to animals which I care about solely because of their intelligence, you have to go up to dolphins or apes.

Funny story.
I decided to buy organic eggs as result of the recent discussion about caged chickens.
Soooo... i bought 10 organic eggs and wanted them hard boiled.
I threw them into a pot and 2 were unusually buoyant... surprise both were impregnated and held baby chickens... or rather bloody messes of underdeveloped beaks, bones and egg white.

I think i'll stick to free range because at least the eggs i get are guaranteed to not be impregnated and useless for everything that's not hyperexotic asian cuisine.
Well, yeah... I don't think organic egg "farms" are a great idea if they don't bother keeping the roosters separate from the layers. :-\
That's a bit dumb if you ask me, unless they have some way of checking if an egg is actually edible- which they clearly don't.
My friends and I just buy decent free-range eggs.

You don't seem to realise that not a single person here has criticised caring about chickens. I care about chickens and eggs, that's the reason I mentioned I don't buy chicken factory eggs myself. Instead, pretty much every single one has criticised the childish way you've thought and acted. That is what is ridiculous.

Somebody brought up the time you complained that your mother had washed your filthy, years-unwashed jeans like it was some sort of personal betrayal instead of a goddamn favour. I think it is very fitting; it is exactly that kind of attitude that caused people to criticise you over this.
If you could explain just how I'm acting childish and just how people specifically saying that battery farms don't matter aren't criticising caring about chickens, then please go ahead. And I'm getting fucking sick of people bringing up the jeans incident; if you don't see any reason to respect other people's belongings, that's your business, but don't attack me for being upset about somebody disrespecting mine. FFS.
You also seem to be seizing on this "personal betrayal" idea for some reason, I wouldn't think that if it was the newcomer who purchased the eggs.
If it was one of my trusted friends, it would be a warranted response.


And also: the person in question was not my mother.
Perhaps that fact is not particularly relevant to this discussion, but the misunderstanding just now upset me terribly so I am clearing that up.




I am going to go drink tea and play videogames now. I've expended far too much energy on this topic and I have little enough energy to expend on things to begin with. My phone is low on battery so I won't have that with me, either. If anyone needs me, throw rocks and/or angry words at my continent or something, or leave a note.

I hate mice. Didn't stop me from making my dad stop putting down rat poison for them, and instead catch them alive.

Poisoning them is bad if something goes on to eat them, but do you have a problem with mousetraps?

Why catch them alive?

Because it is my firm belief that life is all a matter of perspective. My life means everything to me. That mouse, equally, values its life to a similar extent.

If I don't have to kill it, then I won't - it is cruel and inhumane to kill without need.

We used to keep pet mice almost 15 years ago. I can barely remember them.

Before then, we had a pet rat which I can't remember. I was actually named after the rat.

That, or the armageddon. Unless that was what you were talking about.

Well armageddon is a great change (although it's not that great...).

It's funny reading letters from Pope Gregory the Great to various people. In one to King Aethelbert, he claims that the King should not be worried by any natural calamities, as it had been calculated that the apocalypse would happen within their lives and they were merely to test the King's faith.

It didn't happen.

Well, of course not. God only created the world last Tuesday, so those letters* are a TEST OF YOUR FAITH.
