Other animals aren't objects to compare. That's disgusting. Only humans would compare other animals like that. Other animals aren't toys to dress up and pose for your amusement, or tools for you to use as you please. Leave other animals alone. Humans have a serious lack of empathy when it comes to other animals. They're not mindless machines. Their emotions aren't muted. Human ego is disgusting.
Only animals of human-level intelligence are capable of evil. Humans aren't more special or important than other animals. You're not better by definition. Fuck you.
There are far too many animals in orphanages, many kill orphanages, some gas chamber orphanages, to justify breeding/buying from breeders. They're #NotProperty to be bought/sold. Adopt. They'll show you how full of love life is. Save their life, and they'll save yours.
It's not euthanasia. It's not done for their benefit. It's murder. Imagine the outrage if humans who weren't being adopted were killed. It's no different for other animals.
Other animals don't have "vets". They have doctors, and health and medical care. Just like humans. There's no distinction. There'd be outrage if different humans had different doctors and terms depending on their race. It's no different for other animals. That's speciesism.
People spend money on war rather than helping other animals. Medical care should be socialised, like humans have.
Caring for other animals isn't a chore, it's a duty and privilege.
Other animals don't belong in the entertainment industry. Not only is it extremely stressful for them, and wild animals are abused until they submit to human will, but how dare you deprive them of their life. Elephants that do tricks and give rides aren't happy. They do it out of fear of what happens if they refuse. Swimming with dolphins isn't a good activity. It's extremely stressful for them, and leads to them catching diseases. They're viewed as tools for profit, nothing else.
Other apes, monkeys, and horses used on cards smiling because they're happy. Other apes and monkeys do what's called a "fear grimace", while horses smile in submission. They're not happy, they're abused.
Freedom is what matters in life. You wouldn't trade freedom for comfort and safety, and you have no right to force that on other animals.
Experimenting on other animals is vile. How dare you cause such immense suffering and murder. You're birthing them to torture them. What a miserable existence. That constant, unending torture is unimaginable for most people.
Fireworks and other explosions are horrible. Other animals, like cats, dogs, and birds, get absolutely terrified by fireworks. Causing such intense, unending fear is unjustifiable.
Oreos and Doritos use #ConflictPalmOil, leading to extinction of countless species, such as orangutans. 25 orangutans are murdered every day for unsustainable palm oil production.

Leather's disgusting. Other animals, especially cows, suffer tremendously for leather production. It's not just a by-product of the meat industry.

Wool is a product of abuse, just like fur, angora, and mohair, not just in the East, but western nations like America, the UK, and Australia, too.

Dogs and wolves don't have a strict hierarchy with an alpha. Treating them like they do is just cruel and confusing.

Canada and Trudeau still let baby seals have their skulls smashed to bits with clubs.

Don't feed birds bread, or cats cows' milk or cheese. Bread has no nutritional value for birds, it just stops them from eating useful food, and cats are lactose intolerant.

Littering's disgusting. Other animals have to walk on that floor, and right next to your rubbish. They don't want to do that. Don't be a selfish cunt.
Balloons, Chinese lanterns, glitter, sequins, and microbeads don't decompose. They stay in the environment, and end up being swallowed by other animals.
Having human-level intelligence doesn't somehow stop you being an animal. That makes no sense, whatsoever. It's specifically because you're an animal that you can have human-level intelligence. It is a trait of animals because an animal has it: humans. Everything we do is, by definition, animalistic, because we are animals.
Everything humans do is by definition animalistic, because humans are animals. There's no distinction. Being an animal isn't an insult. It's awesome. It's what lets you be you.
Intelligence doesn't make one animal more special than another. That's just a trait humans have. It's no better than running fast or jumping high. Evolution has no will. It's not trying to make other animals more human-like. A slug is as evolved as we are. A slug got it right.
It doesn't make you inherently better at all, and saying that totally disregards how stupid and evil humans are. It's nonsensical. That's human ego. The second an alien race arrives that's more intelligent than we are, you people will move the goalposts for what it means to be more special. You say it not because it's true, but because it currently benefits you.
You can't own another living thing. They're not consumer goods to be bought and sold. They're not property. They're above monetary value. They're not toys for your amusement, or tools for you to use as you please. There'd be outrage if humans were treated like property. It's no different for other animals. That's speciesism. We're not their owners, we're their parents.
Pet isn't an insult. That's horrible. A pet is an animal of another species, in your family, that you care for. They're your children, and brothers, and sisters, and nieces, and nephews, and cousins, not some ornament to have around for novelty, that you only pay attention to when you're bored. Species is irrelevant to family.
Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Goldust, and Ted DiBiase Jr. are murderers. Fishing and other hunting is murder. Other animals' lives aren't your playthings. Leave other animals alone.
You wouldn't do it to humans, so don't do it to other animals. It's that simple.
No one has the right to make fun of, or hurt, or abuse, or exploit, or murder, any other animal, for any reason.
Do what is right, not what is easy.
Humans are animals, and no more special than any other creature.
