I agree with Rifkin's beliefs regarding animal feeling and emotion. He has valid points to make, and backs them with solid evidence. Animals can experience emotions similar to ours that stem from similar situational circumstances. On the other hand, in nature animals built like ourselves naturally eat animals, and human nature is to build our living conditions to the highest standard possible, so should we change the way humans naturally behave? No.
Rifkin, in his article references animals having the very human attributes of grief, self-consciousness, communication, ingenuity, and happiness. He uses these circumstances to imply that we should change the way our society relies on animals for testing, eating, and clothing. This is a huge gap in logic. If we shouldn't encroach on the animals lives by utilizing them as resources, then hawks shouldn't be allowed to eat a certain breed of mice because the mice aren't adapted well enough to hide from the hawks? That's not the way of the world because naturally species die out when they can no longer adapt to the changing environment. If the animals in question are obviously not self-aware enough to fight back, or to resist captivity and slaughter than the superior species wins.
Granted methods that cause unnecessary pain to the animals should be eliminated, we also have to take into consideration the size of our population. There are more people on the earth than ever before and to eradicate the "millions of domestic animals raised under inhumane conditions and destined for slaughter(Rifkin 4)" would mean the death of not only an economy but possibly to the struggling lower class citizens.
As the top of the food chain, we have a responsibility to help maintain our environment. When we recognize mistakes from our technology we should repair them, and cease the

"i don't need a brain
don't need anything
i just want somebody to smoke with"

That's kinda how i feel about guys lately
like i don't need someone to rival me intellectually
i don't even need any sort of commitment
i just really want someone who i can be cutesy with
and cuddle with
and have sex with
and smoke with.
i don't need someone to love me,
or even someone i care about,
i'd just like a relaxed guy who doesn't want the drama
who can make me feel satisfied physically
and on an odd way emotionally, not like love,
but the emotions involved in being in a guy's arms
i don't know how to explain it.
It's kinda addictive.
and without it, i feel kinda incomplete.

laying in his arms i finally work up the nerve to tell him how i've felt for so long,
"if i tell you something, promise to not get weirded out?"
"ummm yeahh"
"i've never loved anyone like i love you"
"ohhhh i knew it was going to come down to thiss..." and he goes on blabbering about how he's not ready for a real relationship because of the last girl he dated.
and i tell him thats not what i meant, and try to explain to him that i'm refering to the fact that i've never really been in love with anyone else. never cared about any guy as much as i do him.
and he just keeps making the situation more and more awkward with talk of marriage, relationships and other things, and i keep saying that what i'm talking about is purely emotional. like i'm so comfortable talking to him, being with him ect.
and he's the first guy i ever really loved in a way that i couldn't let him out of my life.
the half-heartedly he says "well i guess you were my first real love"
but i could hear in his voice he was just trying to salvage the moment.

19 hours later...
i'm laying in my bed depressed as fuck, trying to make sense of my emotions.
i really love him, and now i wish i didn't.
if i didn't care quite so much, maybe i would be able to move on.
but he's just always on my mind.

how do i move on from him? like he's been a huge part of my life for two years, but he's always breaking my heart. i wish for once he would get fight for me, show he loves me, tell me he loves me. idk maybe i'm just being naiive and i'm just another girl to him.

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”-neil gaiman

i cant believe how few people appreciate what people do for them
and how oblivious some people are to others' emotions
even i do it to parents and less frequently friends
but it always shocks me when people who ive always supported
completely disappoint me or even worse really hurt me
i'm so fragile when it comes to the people i love
because i always expect them to treat me with the same
concern and affection that i give them.
i have to say of everyone the most passionate love
and the deepest anguish has come from nick
he opened my eyes as to what love really was &
even when i felt the relationship wasn't working
i never stopped feeling that undying passion
and when he ignores me i feel crushed and resentful
and when i see him the urge to break down my barricade
and just give in my the surge of emotions,
is almost too strong for me to control myself
but when i think about how he's never fought to win me back
or how he's disappointed and distressed me in the past
part of me want to erase him from my life altogether
but i could never keep it going for long
because without his presence i feel a hole inside me
and it eats at me because when were apart
it just feels wrong...
