> Why isn't it morally equivalent to kill 10 pigs who could have collectively lived to be 200 years old for bacon and killing one whale who could have lived to be 200? Sorry, but I don't see how the expected lifespan of a single individual is a determining factor in the moral calculus of what humans should or shouldn't kill. I never said we should kill pigs rather than whales.
