I agree that we should pay more attention to people that are suffering.
But I think the rationale of such laws is somewhat valid. Can you imagine a person who is totally emotionless when torturing an animal but is also very compassionate towards human beings?
I think in some ways human ethics and animal ethics are connected.
Though if you ask me whether Switzerland has gone too far, I'm still hesitant about yes/no.
- nurettin 9y agoImagine grandpa gutting fish and shooting animals with a rifle all day to come back and give children a goodnight kiss. I am not the one lacking imagination.
- c_shu 9y agoThat's not the kind of torture i meant. Rifle or knife should be acceptable to most people. (This process is simple. Experienced butchers even work fast and clean.) Switzerland law is also about killing the lobster instantly so it's the same.
