"The pigs may not even be infected" What the hell?

Apologies for the title, i put an ellipsis and it disappeared. o_o I have no idea why there's a space, either.

[quote=KnickKnacks]We eat pig... therefore, we don't really have as much compassion towards pigs compared to cats or dogs. Sure, I would feel terrible. Angry perhaps. But if it really was a deadly disease that can kill my family then bye bye to my pet. [/quote]

Yeah. You've persuaded me into feeling a bit better about it. I guess there's no good example to put beside a story like this. It's interesting how the media can shock people (including me) into feeling really uncomfortable about this. In hindsight, I feel like such a hypocrite.

don't compare killing animals to killing humans. [/quote]
I agree with most of the other things you said, but this annoyed me. [i]Humans are animals.[/i]

[quote=GreenJello]Ok first of all . Why would you kill a pig that is going to die? There remains? there is no remains. There is something called decomposing. Bacteria or insects like, Flies, will just eat it away.
Second, Burrying them is a more better way than killing them manually, which is much more easier to catch the disease.
Third, Why post the thing on korea. Why not that denmark link? why cuz we're asian?[/quote]

It's nothing to do with the country. Even if it was my own country I'd think it was stupid. Any form of unnecessary animal abuse isn't right, which is why I think your link is also a good example. I just feel like there is something really not right about burying them alive.

At the guy who said that using humans as an example was a bit extreme, yeah. Well, maybe try thinking about a pet then. If your pet had a terrible disease and suddenly they had to kill large numbers of that animal (as well as your pet) by burying them alive, how would you feel? You'd probably feel uncomfortable about it.

yeah so fack off of korea -___-[/quote]

I don't come from Denmark. I don't come from Korea, or America. All I'm trying to say is, why bury them alive? So you can slowly torture tons of pigs which may not even be a threat. Okay then, if they ARE a threat then why just bury them? Surely killing them in a more humane way and then burning the remains would be better? So what if it costs more, would YOU like to be buried alive if you had something like swine flu? There is no reason to be so rude to me.
