So after the sheep did some recording for us, the punchline is that they were enslaved, slaughtered, and consumed? Ha ha ha. I'm not sure how this is supposed to be amusing. Not to say that this article should be a PETA champion, but it's a pretty profound example of human arrogance and a complete lack of empathy.
- woodrowbarlow 9y agohow is it cruel to strap a lightweight camera to a sheep while it goes about its daily grazing? whether or not eating animals (in general) is ethical is a different question altogether.
- warent 9y agoThe issue of the comment isn't with the camera being strapped to the sheep; that technology is great
- _jal 9y agoIn other words, you'd like to hijack a discussion about an article about a publicity stunt to talk about your personal morals?
- warent 9y agoI've obviously miscommunicated here quite badly. That's something I apologize for. Just to clarify: 1. My intention wasn't to hijack a discussion but to create an isolated discussion in a comment block. Hijacking, to me, would've been to reply to every other comment with the same thing. 2. The comment is still related to the article; specifically the rhetoric. 3. I wasn't aware that discussing morals is frowned upon in HN.
