Should You Show Respect To Animals That Are Older Than You?

[Gizmo j]

A tortoise can live up to 150 years.....

Would you consider these old animals as your elders?

 

[BoomerD]

You definitely should...they're all way smarter than you.

 

[brianmanahan]

are we compensating for dog years?

You should show respect to all animals.

Tortoises were around before the dinosaurs and have remained pretty much unchanged since the Triassic, coming in just behind sharks for not f'in' with the formula.

 

[pete6032]

Yes. You should also show deference for posters on here who have been here longer than you.

 

[sdifox]

you are like the youngest poster here. so start paying respect by not posting stupid threads.

This tortoise allows us to hang out in its canyon, very nice of it.

I showed this guy respect. No clue how old he was though. Sea turtles are definitely one of my favorite animals.

 

[shortylickens]

No.

A 3 minute old kitten gets the exact same respect as a 200 year old turtle.

 

[feralkid]

Definitely as cute as a baby kitten.

 

[Spacehead]

Respect any animal born before 1994!

Since homo sapiens are animals...I say it depends on the character of the animal in question....
