I don't know how animals were made. Obviously not by people. I don't really care how animals got here, or how humans got here.

The advancement of human beings is all that matters? So, by your logic we could just instruct the slaughter of all living albums and this would not affect or hurt us in any way? I think if we did that you would see how sadly misguided you really are.

Nope. Well, I think animals like cows would be content doing whatever they were made to do. But I think they are content to eat grass and roam a field all day. We are the master race because we are smart and create things that are beneficial to the world. The advancements of man over the past 100 years is astounding. Obviously animals aren't going to solve any world problems with their knowledge. They don't have common sense.
As for dogs, i guess that's just society's preferance for a pet rather than a pig. I sure as hell don't want a pig as a pet, but would love a dog as one. Doesn't really involve intelligence. Dolphins are supposedly very smart, but they aren't practical as pets, just like pigs aren't. Also, dogs can't be cooked to make delicious bacon!

For starters, I think you were actually the one to suggest you knew what animals were thinking. I mean, you did state that they are perfectly content to roam and graze in a field all day, did you not? How have you come to this conclusion? Did you ask them?
I also find it fascinating that you seem to think you know so much about other species, besides man. You know, from what I gather about the way you are approaching this and any kind of logic you are applying to your opinion, I can kind of see how this is making sense to you. However, I still have to completely disagree with you.
You see, without being able to communicate with another species, how could you possibly comprehend the way they live, think, or communicate with one another? How could you possibly know that we are the "master species", when you clearly know so little about others? We have the ability to advance our own species but we largely choose to dictate what animals mean to us. They mean livestock and mainly food. We choose to take what we want or need from them to further our own lives and our own species yet by doing so, arguably hinder the advancement of their own. But how can you be so sure that thats what these animals were MADE for, rather than what we have decided they are to be used for.
You can have any opinion you wish regarding this but I would at least reconsider your stance on the intelligence of animals in comparison to humans. In my opinion, a great deal of your stance on this particular issue is based on assumption rather than any kind of education. If you allow yourself to question it for a moment then you may well discover that you are wrong.
