Animals in factory farms outnumber humans. How would aliens view the planet as a whole with this happening?

  1. I’d imagine we wouldn’t have to because I bet they’d have done similar in some fashion

  2. However you want. They probably don’t really give a shit about your agenda, lol.

    They probably do it too. Humans aren’t the only creatures on earth to farm other creatures. Ants farm aphids for food for one. Most creatures will farm others if they have the mental capacity to do so.

    Assuming they as a species need to eat/consume for survival I don’t see why aliens wouldn’t do it.

    Some people believe the aliens are already farming us. That we are the pigs.

    What is this video that we are seeing?

    Is this sow kept enclosed within just that much of space – even when she is awake and when her babies are not feeding? Is she not let out to roam? Do those piglets remain on those metal bar flooring all the time?

  5. Tell em it’s just like the Loosh Farm except we do it for physical sustenance instead of spiritual

    I love how people think aliens will be so morally superior.

    What if they use slave labor and WE have to explain to THEM how that’s wrong? Both questions have the same merit.

    Wouldn’t need to – they could see the way we treat each other, it isn’t unique to non-human animals.

  8. I don’t think they’d be shocked or need it explained, I don’t know if they’d really care, probably having or had their own form of factory farming. I don’t think just because they’re advanced that they’re beyond general cruelty. idk maybe I’m dumb.

    Humans are mostly fucking horrible to things that don’t resemble them, unless we’ve arbitrarily deemed them worthy… cats and dogs.

  10. Who knows if they do this too? End of the day an easy and fast source of nutrients (compared to hunting and gathering) would be needed by most if now any race to get to space travel, farming is more than likely something that a lot of other species would have done at some point in their history. Hell, as mentioned here already, maybe some are looking at us to be like these pigs.

    It’s self explanatory. We do it because it’s efficient. They would totally get it.

    Anyone seen that Peter Jackson film “Bad Taste” where aliens come to earth and start boxing up humans coz we’re the latest taste sensation across the galaxy?

  13. Humans: “We don’t really see less intelligent species as having the same rights as us.”

    Aliens: “Actually, we have the same philosophy about that.”

    Humans: “Oh, good, we were worried that might be a problem for you”

    Aliens: “Why would that be a problem? That just means you understand the position you’re in with us, right?”

    Humans: “Um…”
