Is it ok if other animals do it?
- veli_joza 8y agoThe "ok" doesn't exist, just moral/ethical standards we set for ourselves. We could go by nature's standards but we can also do better (social care is nice to have). The practice of taking lives for pastime doesn't sit well with my ethical beliefs for two reasons: the first is empathy for another creature, and the other is I'm uncomfortable with destroying something so complex for no real benefit to me. It's like a child destroying sand castles others have built, amplified thousand times.
- nurettin 8y agoA lot of people need fishing to survive (I've done it while living at a shore village near armutlu) so I'm not sure how imagining being shot into space via a hook solves that problem. Sounds more like first world problems.
- leoreeves 8y agoOther animals kill and murder their young, we shouldn't be looking to them for moral guidance.
- nurettin 8y agoThere is not a person here whom I would consider as a moral guide. Not with these wild imaginations and levels of income.
