Supposedly the puppy was dead when fed to the turtle if that makes any difference to those calling for the teacher’s head.

“Civilization across the world has been largely built on the backs of horses and dogs, and we have valued them precisely because of the superiority to other animals that their intelligence and apparent emotional capacities suggest. Otherwise, they would have been as much use to us as rats; and as much honored.”

More likely they are valued based on their usefulness. Pigs are at least as intelligent as dogs but their usefulness is limited to food. So we eat them.

If the guy had fed the turtle a mouse/rat, no one would have batted an eye.

When I was in college, some grad students I knew had a pet tarantula. I asked them what they fed it. They said, about a mouse a month.

I’m a victim of watching too many shows like AMC’s “Walking Dead”.

Yes, I’m a victim of just about everything. I just do not know what to do.


I hope you realize my comments are sarcastic/in jest.

But I do watch the “Walking Dead”. Seriously, I have never watched such a violent show.

Some tried to claim that the puppy was dead.

But I think that was made up to try to protect the teacher.

Students said that they heard the puppy cry out. Dead puppies don’t cry.

What??

How is it the poor turtle’s fault what he was fed? And how is that showing kindness to animals?

They did not have to destroy it. It could have gone to a zoo somewhere; where they’d care for it without allowing it to endanger other animals hosted by the zoo.

I agree with you about the intelligence of pigs - though they are useful for hunting truffles :-0

But I think humans regard horses and dogs with more than just an appreciation for their usefulness. There’s a symbiotic relationship there that humans and the animals both seem to recognize on an emotional and psychic level.

(Another interesting human-animal relationship is between the falconer and his bird. That bird is never a pet nor a ‘follower’. The two are coworkers, partners.)
