Science would disagree with you. Animals can tell right from wrong - Telegraph

Again, I'm not talking about common pets (cats, dogs, horses, even most birds) - just the generally highly intelligent animals that are placed in captivity. The only one that could really qualify for "pet" status is the octopus and parrots, actually, as far as I can tell. Happiness is also...

Oh yes, science can certainly be performed in situ (in the wild), but certain things - for instance, cognitive and behaviour trials - certainly require a degree of control (i.e. captivity) for the research to be applicable. I was more talking for recreational purposes (i.e. zoos, pets, etc.)

Here's a topic near and dear to my heart, brought on by the upcoming doco The Cove (go see it). So basically, do you agree with the keeping of highly intelligent animals, in zoos, homes or otherwise, captive for any reason? If so or not, why? Arguments pro: - education of the public about the...

I hope you're a troll because you're wrong, wrong, wrong.

Vet Science? Chemistry. It's more applicable to the biological sciences.

ily too :o

They expect people to do the right thing, I expect. Regardless, it's probable that places off-campus are cheaper to photocopy with.

Some would argue that it is better to be poorer than dead or permanantly displaced.

You realise that the coastal zone extends up to 200m inland from the nominal coast? And that rock walls interfere with coastal progradational processes, removing beach instead of building it?

I'm a liberal feminist. Reverse-feminism, in which women are regarded as more important than men, inhereantly disgusting, and I find affirmitive action policies inherently sexist.

Yep, you're only legally allowed to photocopy 10% of the book.

You need to photocopy an ENTIRE textbook or just a few pages?

Got it in one. It's such a pity, too.

Yep sorry, this thread got caught in a mass thread move I needed to do. My bad! How's that for moderator transparency? <3
