If you could anesthetize animals so that they could never feel pain would that solve any moral problems with farming and eating animals?

- nefitty 5y agoNot necessarily. A large part of what makes killing unethical is that it's a subversion of the creatures' preferences. In my mind I imagine that sentient beings have a little sandcastle-shaped plan for the future. Killing them is like stopping on their sandcastle. It's not the only way, but it's the worst because that sandcastle can never be rebuilt.
