Four cats tortured to death?! :c

[TeslaCoil]

This makes me think. What if a far advanced species came to earth, and started torturing humans? I wonder if they would say, "They're just humans, calm down."

Then Giants come and torture the aliens and say "they're just aliens, calm down."

Cats are not sapient life. There is no comparison.

Would humans be sapient in comparison to a species far superior to the human race?

[Qwepir]

Sapience isnt a comparison you nitwit.

[Bisjac]

Would humans be sapient in comparison to a species far superior to the human race?

yes they would... apparently you dont know its meaning.

Sapience is the ability to perform advanced thought and act with appropriate judgement. You cannot compare sapience between creatures you dolt.

You do not have to be starfishs to prove a point. Are you saying that since cats aren't sapient, we can kill them?

yeah

Just because animals can't talk, doesn't mean they aren't "Human."
If giants did this to us, they would think "Oh, they are just humans, who cares what happens to them"

It's the same thing.

as if we're all homogenous

yeah except we can actually think and talk and can do worthwhile stuff

you don't see cats solving complicated rocket science and going into space do you?

[IsaacKronenFaust]

But we're obviously intelligent. Animals don't build cities, make medicine, or wage armed conflict. Those aliens/giants would just be condescending, not logical or reasonable.

[Qwepir]

Are you saying that since cats aren't sapient, we can kill them?

No, I'm just saying that comparing killing cats to killing humans is ridiculous.

It's the same thing.

No it isn't, and you're a moron.

I do sometimes. "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines."

[Qwepir]

I do sometimes.

No, you don't.
