Better Dead than Raised by Humans

Awright, the man's an ultra pro-animal extremist, so he doesn't have the ability to properly express himself. It's kind of like having Down's Syndrome.

Anyway, what he was trying to point out was the idea that it's not entirely healthy for animals to be hand raised by humans. This is why the San Diego Wild Animal Park uses vulture puppets to feed and nurture California Condor hatchlings.

However, when an animal is a bad parent, you pretty much have to hand raise the newborns. With that in mind, the guy's not really proposing any alternatives or being useful in any way. So he's basically just bitching.

yea id say it's safe to say that he missed the point entirely.

Here's a comparitive analogy:
"What do you mean the house isn't firesafe? You mean there's a chance of it lighting on fire in the future and it could kill the people inside? Maybe we should burn it now to save the fires time you don't want him waiting outside for years' while you guys suffer in an inhospitable house"
"what do you mean she has lukemia should we kill her she would be left alone in the wild you know mamma don't want no sick bitches"
"It is better to kill an extinct species to preserve it's phenotypical extinctness than it is to captivate an extinct dying species that there aren't many others of in existence"

i think it is funny in a way because most animal rights philosophies have to do with treating animals with the same type of respect you'd treat a human. The same people usually say that about everything. They seem more Darwinian for whatever reason.
