Reply to comment by Nacho_Sunbeam in 1st day of rifle season --- good luck to all you hunters! by Bocephus8892

I gave a link.

Humans are a very invasive and violent species when it comes to wildlife. It is sad I agree. What is the difference morally between shooting a deer and hitting one with your car? Both take a life. Both can be avoided

Okay I see the link now I will check it out. Well so okay do you not live where there are deer maybe? Because hitting one with your car cannot always be avoided unless you just never ever ever drive a car? Like they come into the city because you know people don't want to hunt them so there's too many of them and there's not enough food in the country so now they come into the city and they go on to the road and traffic yeah it traffic hits them. So again do you maybe not live where there are wildlife?

Personal cars are extremely dangerous for not only humans, but animals too. In hindsight, mass producing the automobile was one of mankind’s worst decisions. We could have had a mass transit system + underground transportation without ever creating the time sink that is traffic. Kinda a separate point but it’s worth mentioning because well built transit would probably save some animals too.

And I’m sorry I’m having trouble understanding the rest of your point.

I guess oh okay so I see you're thinking like crazy ideal Utopian society where we all just give up our cars and make these underground mass transit systems. The disconnect here is I'm talking about reality where we live now and how we could change things now with the reality we actually already live in. But we clearly are in two different realities so I'll go ahead and leave you to yours I appreciate all your thought-provoking conversation enjoy your reality today.

So while we're here where's your line exactly? Do you use pesticides or like consider the insects that die in order for your plants to be harvested? Do those bugs lives not matter? And I mean the plants are living so that's a life so how do you justify taking that life but not a deer life? How exactly did you come to the conclusion of which lives are okay for you to take versus your opinions on which lives other people are allowed to take? Have you ever taken antibiotics before? Have you ever had a tapeworm and treated it? Head lice maybe? I actually don't believe that every single life all life is sacred so maybe that's our our core issue here.
