About damn time I say, those Cochineal beetles deserve recompense for Carmine/cochineal red! It's their trademark...

Humans > uncivilised beasts

How hard is that for PETA to understand?

I am afraid the ">" operation is undefined when comparing living beings. What does it mean that humans > animals?

Oh dear

I'd have thought to argue the case the monkey would have to address the court? :smile:

It's not always easy to tell the difference in town on a Friday night.

Lets analyse your second sentence. "What does it mean that humans > animals?"

Apparently, ">" is undefined. So that leaves us with the question of "how should I deal with the section '> animals?'?".

Clearly, since it is undefined, I cannot parse ">", and thus I crash while reading the "> animals" section, so I return an error.

Error 413: Undefined operations in string, cannot parse

You're writing invisible again

I'd quite like to try venison someday

We're being pedants are we? Okay, I'll try it too.

This is even ignoring the fact that you did not specify what you meant by "it".

*Oh deer :wink:

I didn't mean it that way :biggrin:

I meant to ask what do you mean by humans are better or greater than beasts? Do you mean smarter? Or do you mean that we have more rights? What do you mean?

Means monkeys don't need copyright laws.

He's question actually had some weight to it, and was just asked in a stylised way, your answer was insanely pedantic and pretentious. Is there any particular reason to believe an animal is worth more than a human, outside of intrinsic, subjective morality?

Also, PETA do a lot of good work, lets not lose sight of that.

This is ridiculous, I'm no zoologist but whilst I realise that monkeys in general are quite intelligent I doubt that intelligence extends to comprehending the nuances of copyright law. This is really a non argument on the part of PETA.

There are very few reasons to believe an animal is worth more than a human.

Oddly, you seem against "intrinsic, subjective morality", but let me remind you that ethics are also subjective, and PETA stands for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals".

" Against " it is the wrong word. It's more like I " Accept it ".
My own personal belief is that people are more important than animals, but I accept that my version of morality isn't " Right ".
