I don't care either, I draw the line between human and non-human. Anything you do on non-human is fair game to me.
The only reason I may care about animal suffering is because the other human can get angry can cause me trouble.
- Falling3 5y agoWhy do you draw the line there? And that means you're okay with things like torture of animals and bestiality?

- dane-pgp 5y ago> Anything you do on non-human is fair game to me. It might be wise to moderate that position by also objecting to people taking pleasure in seeing/causing the suffering of animals. You may not care about the experience of those animals, but you should still care what effect it has on the human who indulges that side of themselves. Similarly you should also care that humans are not excessively exposed to scenes of "necessary" animal suffering, whether that be abattoir workers or veterinarians. Having psychological counselling mandated and freely available for these professions would be an ethical improvement for the world even if it didn't reduce the amount of animal suffering at all.

You may not care about the experience of those animals, but you should still care what effect it has on the human who indulges that side of themselves. I wouldn't object to people taking pleasure in seeing/causing the suffering of animals, as long as its only limited to animals (does not harm other human).
