Why is everyone so sympathetic to the Yeerks?!

[morfowt]

I hate humans but I don't hate yeerks (except for visser three)

[Chad32]

Humans can live without meat. However, it's more complicated and expensive. Unless you also take diet pills or something. But then, where do diet pills come from? I don't know.

Also, young children need meat to grow healthily. Vegan diets aren't for everyone.

[zaprowsdower]

Actually, there's a special protein that you need to live that is ONLY found in bacon. So you do need meat to live.
Sorry

[Dameg]

Many of that proteins are also in insect, and some people eat insects. Of course, they kill, but it isn't meat. And I think we can find this proteins in soja too.
If you wanna be really healthy, of course you need meat. But you don't need if you just wanna survive (live and survive are different).
To ask Yeerks to not have any host will let them survive and be healthy, but not really live (not when they know what they can't have).
Venemous > and what if you don't like bacon? (I eat bacon the less I can...)

[zaprowsdower]

Well, then, it's just like the rest of health food-bad yet good for you

[Yorick Brown]

There is nothing evil about eating other animals be it human or otherwise. Evenm if we don't need meat to survive, there's nothing wrong about killing an animal for food while not driving it to extinction. We treat livestock and beats of burden with more respect and care than Yeerks do with hosts. It's senseless to compare humans eating animals with Yeerks enslaving ssentient species.

"Many must do that because their host hate them, so they answer."

Did you actually say that? Did you actually say that a Yeerk must torture because they're host rightly hates being controlled?

[AniDragon]

I think she meant that it was more like a reflex. They're not justified, but what's the general reflex to being pushed? You push back. Even the Animorphs use that analogy sometimes.

Does it justify torturing the hosts? Of course not. But it's the reason they do it. The host starts screaming and cussing out the Yeerk. The Yeerk gets defensive, pushes back with torture to try and shut the host up. Maybe it knows deep down that it's wrong, but this is what it was taught to do.

forget the animorphs, go to physics. every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whenever you push against something, it pushes back on you. although I still say pushing is bad.

[CounterInstinct]

What if we evolved as parasitic slugs? Wouldn't you want to be able to see, hear and feel the beauty of our world?
Please don't stereotype Yeerks, just because you see one bad Yeerk, doens't mean every Yeerk is. It's pretty obvious actually. What about terrorists, rapists, kidnappers, and such? What if "Andalites" came to our world, then saw terrorists, then label of all humans as evil, would that be right? That is what you are actually doing right now.

We treat livestock and beats of burden with more respect and care than Yeerks do with hosts.

Have you dissected a frog? Do you know how many frogs we dissect every year?
Have you seen the human-cow? The hybrid between the cow and human? Isn't that worse??

At least the host body lives to its full potential (if the Yeerk is friendly).
Or the host body actually lives healthy (any Yeerk, evil or not).

[zaprowsdower]

What the fudge brownies ??? Human-cow?
It's like the pigman offa "Seinfeld"

[CounterInstinct]

They inserted human genes into the cow... so that it would produce human milk instead for infants... 
Its sick! Even sicker than Yeerk infestation...

[zaprowsdower]

It's still a cow

[CounterInstinct]

Oh no.... you really haven't seen it yet. It looks both HUMAN and COW! Not Andalite... HUMAN COW! LOL. Its name is "Cowboy" It even has calves now. DOn't you see how this would ruin the ecosystem? Plus that cow looks so disgusting. It doesn't look like a cow....

That's unbelievable. Why would anyone think we'd need something like this? I know breast milk is important for young babies, but if a certain mother needs extra milk for some reason, then she could find someone else to donate some milk. That's surely a better idea than splicing Human and cow DNA.

CI, are you on some kinda serious trip, or what?
