    hol up so I'm just reading this

    @kittynom @Ranger0203

    y'all tripping man

    look I'm not going to go any further on this but if you genuinely believe in your heart that humans are no different than other animals something is wrong with you. Any person with reasonable understanding would agree with that.

    If it came to these circumstances and you could only save one "animal", would you rather save your dog in a fire or a human being you don't know?

    Saying humans are equal to other animals is extremely retarded (for lack of better words). What have other animals accomplished? What have humans accomplished?

    I'm not going to argue any further. Theres no point in forcing my opinion on a brick wall.

    But you would THINK everyone would agree that humans and animals are not on the same level.

    I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by throwing around so many insults in your debate responses (perhaps for emphasis or to appeal to those that already agree with you), but it doesn't do anything except for degrade the points that you're making. Anybody can make any absurd claim (such as the claim that white people are superior to black people) and throw around insults directed at those who disagree. Does that make their claim right? Of course not. While you're claim may not be absurd at all, it still doesn't mean that you should act like a jerk and insult everyone that disagrees when you're here in a debate forum. This forum is for people to debate their opinions, not insult everyone that disagrees with them.

    Though you've neglected to actually respond to my claims, I did say that humans should be considered to be in a different level than animals, depending on how you define the 'levels.' That is, if you separate all animals and an alligator is in a different level than a dog, a dog is in a different level than a monkey, a monkey is in a different level than a chimpanzee, etc., then yes, a human would be in a level above all other animals. If, however, you group all animals into one level, humans should be grouped into this level as well.

    Are dogs and snails on the same level? I would say not, but they're both animals.
    Humans are animals. Mammals, to be specific. The only thing that makes us different is our mind. We can think better than other animals.

    Okay so my point! (yes I know I'm very very very late) but I believe Harambe freaked out and did what he did because of everyone screaming, I do have to say Gorillas should not be held in captivity (as well as many other animals) they were not born to sit (sometimes alone) in an enclosed area for their life, that would be like you staying inside your home, forever until you died, while having people take pictures of you, and feed you, its just not what nature was made for, I also believe the parents should have watched their child more, yes I know ive been to a zoo its very crowded, yes I know they had more then 1 kid, but that's not Harambe's fault, In the end Harambe should still be alive but me posting this isn't going to change the fact that he is no longer living, anyways I hope we can see both sides to the story, although very sad, It wasn't Harambe's fault. (this is just my opinion)
