Thanks for helping break it down. I'll address it using your help. > But that presumes that humans are uniquely superior to recognize this over all other carnivors [sic]. It doesn't need to involve a value judgment that we are somehow "superior". It just requires recognizing the obvious, that we are indeed uniquely sapient. Furthermore the argument for killing animals is using the flawed appeal to nature, which doesn't work for rape or any other of the countless "natural" activities we overcame with our sapience.

To clarify, I wasn’t saying that because meateating occurs in nature, it is correct. I was pointing out that if meateating is wrong, then there’s lots of other things we have to deal with. That is just one of the simplest, pragmatic I think, reasons to dispute “all meateating is bad.” Note, I think we should eat meat in a humane way so actually think this california law is helpful. I just don’t think that all meat eating is bad.
