**** … is no place sacred anymore? must we have this animal rights crap everywhere?
1- most slaughterhouses actually practice “humane” methods. i would daresay it’s the minority that mistreat the animals. that is an acceptable margin for me.
2- as someone else in this thread mentioned, if we want to complain about suffering, lets start with human suffering. at least boycot products that exploit other humans.
3- unless you claim morality is objective, which i would ask you to prove if the answer is yes, then how can we animal suffering is unethical? utilitarianism comes the closest, but fails to determine it once the impact is 0. e.g. if my actions have no negative impact on the environment(or even a benefit), and benefit for me, then your only justification for saying that i shouldnt cause more pain than necessary is because YOU FEEL it is bad. purely subjective. e.g. kangaroos. vermin, population needs to be culled for their own good, and provides meat for me. benefit all round. now if i choose to club or even torture them to death, prove to me how this is unethical by any logic other than “you feeling its bad”
(PS the argument of me not wanting someone to torture me doesnt hold up. that is reciprocity of which kangaroos are not capable. humans are, which is why utilitarianism would dictate a moral equivalent of not mistreating humans) |
