Didn't realize the killing of an animal was murder. Guess whoever murdered that chicken I ate this morning is also wrong.

>>8929374
mussels have no concept of fame, so it's death was in vain in that respect.
and or knowledge of it being the oldest living thing does not validate its existence, so it's irrelevant whether we acknowledge the fact or not.
everything in your post is incorrect, whereas OP only got the murder part wrong.

You might be actually retarded

Why would a clam need to live for 500 years? That's the real question here.

Do clams live forever as long as they don't get eaten?

>>8929353

They have no concept of life and death either faggot.

For organisms that have no concept of fame, they sure are shellfish.

But anon, by analysing the growth rings on the clam we learn more about the past conditions of the ocean.

The more you know, the further you. We need to go far.

>>8929353
How do you know this was a good clam? For all you know he may have been a bad clam. Don't justify this clams death without knowledge of its character.

Who eats chicken for breakfast?

>>8929374
Ming is now king among clams in clam heaven and all is well.

>>8930453
I do.

I don't eat typical breakfast items because they happen to be the most unhealthy things you can start your day with:

Breakfast cereal with milk (industrial farm waste products.)
Orange juice (year old industrial farm waste product)
Bacon (delicious but deadly, even once in a while. I also typicality don't eat things as smart as your average /sci/tard)
Pancakes, waffles, French toast, muffins, bagels, toast, etc (carbs and more carbs slathered in butter and carb syrup.)
Eggs; fried, scrambled, etc. (lol nope, keep your cholesterol-filled menstrual cycles to yourself)
Hashbrowns (tasteless Russets, but only unhealthy if you use store brands and fry them.)

I eat (all grown/raised on my farm or traded for from neighbors' farms; wild/heirloom/land race varieties/breeds),

Wild greens potherbs/Steamed veggies/Wild greens
Wild greens salad/wild seed sprouts (lambs quarter sprouts are my fave)
Tree nuts/Sunflower seeds/Legumes
Chicken/Turkey/Capretto/Rabbit
Fresh fruit; Pumpkin/gourd/Sweet potato pie
Water

I think we're all being misdirected around the fact that science is just a bunch of bull shit. Anyone can get through life without it. According to science, gender is now a vector quantity, whose magnitude and angle are a function of [estrogen] and time. Seriously, just quit trying to count everything with your invented number systems and live like the beast nature intended you to be. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Turritopsis dohrnii also known as the immortal jellyfish.

>>8929964
it was the oldest animal that we knew of, so anyone with a functioning brain.

>>8932315
>likely

>>8932339
Why does the life of the 'oldest animal we know of' matter more than that of my cat?

>>8932345
I don't think anyone even implied that.
I think "scientists kidnap and murder guy's cat for science" would be getting a lot more attention than this.

>>8932351
The argument made about why we should care about the crab was clearly because of the fact it was the oldest animal we know of. However, why does it matter than it's the oldest creature? When I put my cat and the clam side by side, would its incredible age be the determining factor for whose death is most horrific/least ethical?

>>8932364
we could have studied the clam to get info on how to produce human-clam hybrids who could live and shitpost for hundred of years
not this will never happen
and it's all your cat's fault

>>8932364
>if one you think something matters because of one factor, then that means you don't care about the other factors at all
You're a brainlet, and your cat is one too.

We need to give muscles have a concept of fame, and death, and consciousness so we can feel justifiably outraged when they're murdered. ~PETA logic

OH GOD!! all clams now exist in a state of quantum entanglement!! all clams are now infinity years old until they're killed by a scientist and their true age is confirmed.

The Price of Scientific Discovery.
In the eyes of some it was worth it,
in the eyes of others it was not.

>>8929353
Perfect example of the cult of Science. The pursuit of science without any though or reason leads to all sorts of immoral shit. Especially when the majority of scientist are materialists (which is unfortunately the case).
I would suggest withholding the outrage until the baby-in-a-bag exists (which will be sometime in 3 years from now since they already passed the animal trials).

Murder is defined as the killing of another human.
