Where does the implication that other animals are moral come from? Is a wolf that eats pigs moral? If so, then why is a human eating pigs immoral or even 'disgusting' as you put it?
- hnaccy 9y agoBy moral being I do not mean they act morally but that they deserve moral consideration. If this were not true why are we repulsed by the beating of an animal? Why do we invent such paradoxical concepts as the "humane" slaughterhouse? Our moral intuition leads us to the answer but cultural norms and casuistry let us avoid it.
