Christianity Etc › Re: Do Animals Have Rights? [argumentative Discussion] by bqlekan(m): 8:11pm On Sep 17, 2016

Good question!



Ill say No.

From the christian point of view, we can find in Genesis how man must treat animals. In Genesis 1 God established the relationship between man and animal. In later verses, God gives to man authority over all that was created on earth. Man is to take care of and use the earth. Man is to have the authority over all that was created. This means that man is to assume the control and protection of all that God had created. Animals are to be used by men for our needs.

Animals were not used as food up till Genesis chapter 9. However, God now included certain animals in the diet of mankind and repeats His command in verse two to watch over these animals.


Man is the caretaker of the earth according to the Bible and as such should protect as much as possible animals from sickness, diseases and extinction, use the animals for his needs, keep them from harming humans and protect them from abuse.
you are right, which is why I said we should respect and care for them so as to maintain the balance in the ecosystem.

if rights mean caring for them, then we can say they deserve it.

for you to say this - i believe you never intimately studied chimpanzees, dogs, elephants, dolphins - many other species show a very high degree of moral steer even more than most humans do.
I think I do watch a little bit of Natgeo, the animals mentioned above can't engage in intellectual discussion. Yes, some animals may exhibit a bit of moral intelligence. but how stable are they? I've seen cases where some of these animals attack tourists, I've seen a dog attack it's owner. I think rights should only apply to the morally and psychologically stable.

Ok since a mad man cannot be held responsible for his action - do you by any chance means that excludes him from the idea of basic "Human rights?"
basically, a mad man cannot choose his rights, he can't fight for it. you think he can? try provide a shelter for him. if you succeeded in doing that, then you have to chain him, render him immobile, else you will find him on the streets again(that is violation of his right isn't it?).

like I said earlier, Human rights should only apply to the morally an psychologically stable. A mad man can be partially excluded. I said partially because he is also human.

johnydon22:
Even humans can also exhibit the behaviours you listed above, vandalizing each other belongings, territorial encroachment or being mortal threats to each other - so?
we humans can choose to be bad or good, animals can't, we have conscience, animals don't. You won't charge a python to court, will you?

animals behaviour is exactly like that of a mad man, you can't hold him responsible for his actions.

First seat huh brother? wink welcome lets hear your idea on it.. Do they, should they or Not?
discussed above
Christianity Etc › Re: Do Animals Have Rights? [argumentative Discussion] by bqlekan(m):
well, I will try make this as simple as possible. let me start with this question.

Are animals intellectually inclined enough to be aware of human rights?



The case of grasscutters invading your cornfield comes to mind. How about a goat invading your pot of food? or a lion attacking a human.

If a python could come to my home and swallow two of my livestock, can it not swallow my 8 year old daughter?
I say 'NO' they are not aware of human rights. They can't distinguish between right and wrong.

I'll rather say we humans should treat them with respect. And when the dangerous ones get too close, we retire them. cheesy

in conclusion, I don't think animals should have rights. We as humans must only treat them with respect to ensure the balance of the ecosystem..

Why don't you create one or work with others to create one?
Must we wait for oyinbos who are just as intelligent as we are to create something for us so that we can buy or maybe even expect them to dash us like a disabled handicapped person who cannot take care of himself?
Where is our sense of pride and personal dignity?

brother, don't give me another career talk, being an entrepreneur myself, I know what it takes to start or co-own a business.
There is always someone who can do it better than you. there is always a field of specialisation, different people will do different things. At the moment, both Facebook and Google can do it better than the whole of Africa..

Phones › Re: Is There Any Adverse Effect Of Updating Phones? by bqlekan(m): 7:16am On Sep 11, 2016
Tecno, I don't know about. you can check their official site for firmware if it doesn't support OTA. avoid custom Rom as much as possible, except if you are willing to take the risk.

for phones that support OTA, Do not update OTA If you've rooted your phone, instead, do manual update.

always backup your rom, in case you get stuck in bootloop..
