The animals on the farm are welcome to do the same if they don't like being farmed.
- missingrib 6y agoThis is satire?
- Razengan 6y agoThe fact that animals cannot mount a resistance makes our practices even more grim and morbid, not better.
- cygx 6y agoMight makes right is a poor foundation for any moral framework, imo.
- krageon 6y agoSo you think you only deserve the right to live if you can resist me murdering you? What if you become crippled? You cannot resist me, armed or not. Therefore you are an old-time farm animal, mine to kill whenever I want. I think that's an unhealthy stance to take towards life.
- cercatrova 6y agoYes. I've seen this alien argument used a lot by non-meat-eaters, as if it's some "gotcha". It is not. One can construct a sound and valid viewpoint that is consistent simply by saying that sure, I can eat animals that are lower in some quality than I am, such as sapience, but then if an eldritch alien with more sapience than me comes about, they are free to eat me.
