Name one horrible thing that was done to people that isn't done to animals every year.

[Professor James]

There is a meme about the oppression Olympics and about which group of people had it worse, but I thought about it and was reminded of the book Eternal Treblinka. The more I thought about it, as bad as humans have treated other humans, they have always treated other people better than animals.

Taxes

I wouldn't call taxes an atrocity, but they're definitely a necessary evil(unless you're an anarchist or a nomad).

Any animal that has a job is also tracked by the government.

Those aren't strictly horrible, but very annoying. I take it you never heard of http://lolcatz.livejournal.com/

Psychological torture I guess. You can tell a dog all the awful ways you're going to torture it beforehand, but it won't understand a word you're saying.

You can't have a conversation with a dog, but you can still do a sadistic version of the pavlov experiment with one.

Animals lack the capacity to read Twilight. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

But some apes know sign language, and you can sign it to them. Though I'm pretty sure its against the Geneva Convention.

I think closing a calf in a room without letting it move is pretty efficient psychological torture.

In a sense, maybe, but I'm thinking of something on a more conscious level. Like telling someone how you're going to kill their family in exact detail, one-by-one. I suppose it depends on where you draw the line.

Awareness of the threat of nuclear annihilation.

Politics.

The Last Airbender Movie.

Plenty of things really.

I was totally ninja'd on taxes.

Okay, here's one: Animals aren't forced to deal with U.S. politics. Especially presidential year politics.

DAMN! Ninja'd again!

Animals don't have to worry about favorite authors, actors and actresses dying before a favorite series is completed.

Animals will never see their favorite novel bastardized into film by someone that obviously never read the source material.

Animals don't have to work retail.

Rape as a form of oppression.
