Why can't democracy apply to all living things?
These innocent, defensely creatures are completely at our mercy to help them.

7. That's why I don't eat them, wear them, experiment on them nor make them entertain me.
They aren't ours to use, despite what some here will tell you.

Welcome to DU!

11. Given that more people every year are killed in domestic pig attack incidents

14. Humans are by far the biggest predators doing much more harm to animals than vice versa
Also, see top 10 most dangerous animals:

Sharks are on there, not pigs

Crazy smart, too. I spend one of the best afternoons I've ever had giving a big ol' rescue pig a baby oil massage under a tree. :)
