Everybody should be equals no matter their place of birth, skin, religon, sexuality or gender.
Forcibly choosing certain people *cough cough* caitlyn jenner *cough* as the image of transgender folks. Its not a good look. Please just listen to us.
You dont need to understand someone to respect them. I dont understand religon. Its not my thing but i still respect those that belive diffrently to me. Not that hard. If someone says they are a rainbow unicorn you dont need to understand them just respect their wishes even if it sounds ridiculous to you.
Animal rights organizations are known to fake footage (pay people to torture animals or do it themselves) they also routinely steal peoples pets *cough* peta *cough*. They arent worth supporting.
Animals dont need rights. They cant do anything for them. That and its alot to ask. Instead i prefer animal welfare which should always be encouraged to be improved on. That does help animals as it means they get better care instead of just a piece of paper.
Support small shelters. They usually do want to help animals and arent in it for money.
Throwing away old furs is more disrespectful. Either find a new home for them or donate them to someone caring for wildlife.
Fake fur or vintage furs arent promoting furs nor are you giving the people who kill animals money by buying them. *hint for the ar folks*
Fake fur is worse for the enviroment than real fur but no animals get killed for it directly.
Fur farms can be humane if ran correctly. While fur is uneeded people will always buy it. Everything from the animal gets used. Their feces and urine are sold for studies or as hunting scents any scrap fur such as tails are now days typically sold and thei meat is often given to zoos.
Most zoos help conservation. Every time ive been I've seen happy healthy animals. Most of which are captive bred and wouldn't survive a day in the wild. Especially the endangered ones which would be extinct otherwise.
If you change your mind on your gender or sexuality its A OK as its just you working things out.
Guns dont kill people. People do. While having heavier gun restrictions and less guns may have less gun deaths overall i think the level of deaths would stay the same. (i often see people lying about americas gun system ar-15 arent full automatic and they do check for criminal record) America needs better mental health care. People need help and arent getting it. Theres also the whole thing of violance being imbodied into culture.
This is more australia specific (my own country) but alot of folks here act like boat people get given things for free their whole life. On the goverments own webpage it explains that they get a helping hand for a months with a payment that anyone lookinh for work can get. They also get given only a small unit to live in for a few months that they still need to pay rent for.
Tropy hunting is something i dont like and find distasteful but you can dislike something and agree that its needed. It funds protection for endangered species for animals in places like africa. People dont have it great there and often loose livestock from wildlife. They also typically only kill old ones or ones that are causing problems (like older male elephants killing others babies)
Leg traps can be humane if checked often. (Animal will still be stressed so im not super keen)
Hunting with dogs is cruel unless the dog is only luring them out. Letting the dog maul any animal is akin to dog fighting in my opinon
Dont shoot unless it will kill instantly. (Especially with archery there's more room for error)
Predator hunting dosent work well depending on species. Apex predators usually control their own populations. Kill one fox and more will move in and breed making five more little problems. Lock up chickens in secure pens, get alert dogs or alarm sensors. If possible lock up lambs and calves in a barn. If larger animals are attacking you are better off making a good high fence. It'll cost less than losing your stock for years and shooting animals will in the long run.
Men have it as bad as women just in diffrent ways. Espeically when it comes to custody of children and mental health support. Men get raped at the same rate as women if not higher and it rarely gets reported due to stigma around it.
Media lies about alot of things or take things out of context or just blow things up. Take articles with a grain of salt and dont use them for a political argument or whatever unless you know for a fact they are acurate.
Taxidermy is respectful to animals as you are trying to make them as close as you can to being alive.
Breeding animals is ok so long as the sole reason isnt for profit and that you try to find good owners and give them the best of care.
Adoption is great but its not for everyone. People dont know what they are getting with adopted dogs and they may be dangerous or not suitable to their household or simply the animal they want just isnt in shelters. My own dog is adopted and i love him to death. He is the best boy.
Prong collars can be humane just so long as they are used correctly same with shock collars as long as they arent powerful.
Choke collars are inhumane and most of the time dont stop a dog pulling. You are just going to do pernament damage to their brain, lungs and neck.
Drug users need to not be fined or imprisoned when they try to get help. Many are scared of this and never get help. Its not helping the drug epidemic by locking everyone up. Get them help.
Prison is to help rehabilitate people back into society. Not to punish them. Or atleast thats how i think it is.
Telling people to kill themselves or saying you want to kill them over harm they have done to other beings is bad. Its the same as what they do. Dont stoop so low.
Also hugs always help people :3
Just my personal opinons. You can have diffrent ones to me i dont really care tbh. People can get along with diffrent opinons. Mine change yearly basically lol. Basically just be nice to everybody is my motto. You dont know what is going on in their life.
