OP
I originally made a blog about this topic before, but I decided to revise it a little and post it as a thread (more people view threads than blogs). If you REALLY want to see the original blog, here's a link:
https://gbatemp.net/entry/ant-lives-matter.14313/
The world is not a perfect place. Problems are everywhere. One of these problems include discrimination. I see people protesting against sexism, racism, and other terrible ways of discluding everyone. There is one thing I don't see protected. That is why I'm here to say...Ant Lives Matter.
Humans are incredible. They are at the top of the food web, they have extreme intelligence (well, not everyone. But still!), and have wonderful bodies. Every animal is forced to take the spots on the Food Web below them. Near the very bottom, is ants.
Ants are tiny (in comparison to humans and other creatures), hard working insects that have been around for quite a while. They can lift up objects that are heavier than their own body weight (though that isn't much) and can build massive (in comparison to them) structures for home. They work together as a civilization to survive and sometimes go at war.
Now, tell me if that reminds you of another species. That's right, Humans, the (supposedly) greatest species ever created, are not very different from ants. It's a crazy claim. They both have their differences of course, but they are similar overall.
There is one thing that keeps ants from being the #1 creature. Their size. If ants were the size of a human, they would not only wipe out every species, but take over the world. Luckily for us, they're not.
So now that I've got the comparison out of the way, what does this have to do with the title of this blog? Well, ants are abused. Every. Single. DAY.
"But Titanica! They don't get abused! It's part of the circle of life!" I hear you say.
Sure, it is the circle of life. But the thing is, we BREAK the circle of life. We've destroyed Mother Nature already. Our buildings, guns, drugs, everything! We're still beating her with Global Warming and other things! That isn't the topic, but we humans know better. We're bigger than life itself. We can change the Food Web! So tell me why, ants are getting abused, by US!
"What are ya talking about you dunce?" I hear you shout?
Well, we hurt ants in many ways. We step on them with our feet. We destroy their homes and build over them. We eat them (this only applies to some countries). We cage them (search up Ant Farm on YouTube for proof). We taunt them. Ants already have a hard enough time with natural predators, so let's give them a break. It's time to end this.
Ants don't do much to us. Sure, they may steal our food. But one ant only needs a tiny amount of an apple that we eat to fill its stomach. They can come in our homes, but that's because they think that the homes are open to entry. And don't dare to say that that's wrong, because we've DESTROYED their environment for our stinkin' homes. They are smaller versions of US!.
One could argue that pains can't feel pain. This is false. If you attempt to scare or torture an ant, they will true to defend themselves or flee.
So please, next time you see a bunch of ants huddled in their home, don't smash it or spit in it or anything. Put yourself in their shoes (or bodies I guess).
What do you guys think? Will you change your ways? Will you reply to this thread without reading the thread? Will you debunk my argument? Let's see!
Thanks for reading!
