"I want to kill you, but I want to do it nicely." - Humans to cows.
- harperlee 6y agoPithy, but most people would agree torture prior to death is morally wrong.
- alisonkisk 6y agoMost people would agree (in principle, not in observed behavior) that torture and murder are both wrong, as is torture before the few minutes before death.
- harperlee 6y agoPlease try to read posts charitatively, it adds up to better conversations. We all have limited time. The point was that most people see torture plus murder worse than a quick murder, and that should be clearly analogous to your ironic cite, that I read as pointing out the supposed hypocrisy of making a slauthering “ethical”. Different ways to kill, be it human or animal, even if we agree they are unethical, are not unethical in the same degree.
