A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.
Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.
State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.
Should we, according to you, grant the same amount of ethical consideration to a tomato as to a cat/pig/bird/etc? Do you actually believe there is a sentient being in a plant, or a rock for that matter?
Our best scientific understanding is that a CNS is essential for sentience, and there is no serious evidence support plant sentience. You can play the philospher and argue this, but then technically you can’t prove human sentience outside your own (if that). Should we go kill humans?
Anyway. I see you’re not serious in this conversation and are just trolling. Have a good one.
this is an ad hominem and a thought terminating cliche. what i’m saying is true. your fallacious rhetoric doesn’t change that.
i think what you mean is that sentience has only been substantiated in organisms with a cns.
i never said that. what i said is that you can’t prove there isn’t.
i don’t know what you mean by ethical consideration.
