Cats, dogs, horses, pigs, dolphins, whales, people.
I mean, at some point along that list everyone's going to agree that what others eat for dinner is reasonably a political issue.
- burgerbrain 16y agoWhat other people ingest in the privacy of their own home is never a political issue.
- ugh 16y agoAt least when it comes to cannibalism most people seem to agree that it is a political issue. Most people would probably also agree that eating monkeys or dolphins (or rather killing monkeys or dolphins with the intent of eating them) should be illegal. There is also a pretty wide consensus that endangered species like whales shouldn’t be killed and consequently cannot be eaten. It seems like most people don’t agree with you, most people are comfortable drawing some lines with respect to what people should and shouldn’t be allowed to eat. Your comment is not in any way self-evident and needs to be backed by an actual argument.
- burgerbrain 16y ago>cannibalism So long as it's done between two consenting adults, I can't figure out why cannibalism would be any of my business. >Most people would probably also agree that eating monkeys or dolphins (or rather killing monkeys or dolphins with the intent of eating them) should be illegal. Hell if I know why. Fundamentally no different than any other animal. >There is also a pretty wide consensus that endangered species like whales shouldn’t be killed and consequently cannot be eaten. Hardly an issue with the farm raised meat most people content themselves with.
