InfestedKerrigan Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. - George Orwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 When a child asks 'Why is it raining?', I think a cute thing to say is, 'Because God is crying'. And when that child asks, 'Why is God crying?', I think another cute thing to say is, 'Probably because of something you did.' -Jack Handy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. - George Orwell This is kind of a terrible quote. And here is why: Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk: Actually, SHE does, but we just don't let other animals use selective trait breeding to produce excellent milk producing women and put them in dairys. only creature that consumes without producing: Very few creatures "produce" with thoughts of becoming a steak. Cow: i better eat a lot of grass, so i become tasty!" Not really how it works. Given the opportunity, we can become great producers. Ask a man eaing tiger, or a great white. he is too weak to pull the plough: Actually, Man plows are a thing, and have been for thousands of years. We have hoes too. AND: things that are strong enough to pull a plow (Oxen, horses, etc) are too dumb to farm. he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits: Uses brian to trap, shoot, or get other animals to catch rabbits and give them to us. Gets smarter, does not rely on rabbits for food. And... humans are actaully really good foot hunters. Humans have amazing endurance, and can follow a fast animal untill it can no longer run. LINK! Just saying :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 As for the rest, I readily agree, but it requires good stewardship on our part to make that happen. Otherwise we are just consuming without replenishing, without contributing to the life stream. At least that's what I take from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Fair enough, but every animal does that. We just don't have anything to keep our numbers in check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Would that be considered a problem of being an Alpha Predator? A side effect? I agree, we are at the top of the food chain for what we have developed as the food chain. There are things that if change wrong, screw us hard, and other things that will change to benefit us as a herd. Herd health is extremely important to me. I wish politicians would be more honest about things that affect herd health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan-of-War Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 My twelve year-old nephew had an art project where they make a creature out of clay and then give it a backstory and present it to the class. His was a demon-looking thing: "This is the demon that steals all the red-headed kid's souls and won't give them back." Terrible and hilarious 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
