:) i'm glad you're one of the lucky people learning today about an important part of ethical philosophy. Ever heard about Peter Singer? You know, the same one that coined "effective altruism". I'm not gonna explain more, this is not something for an hn thread: i'm not gonna botcher the basics against your will right now, but at least please just accept that this is a real thing. It is a long philosophical tradition, well known in ethical philosophy, that basically has always been present as a movement inside human philosophies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Liberation_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Liberation_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciesism
