Not illogical at all. A person that abuses animals is a potential menace to society - lack of empathy means they might easily abuse humans too. We are punishing sociopathic tendencies here.
Farming animals is not sociopathic, it's a business decision based on economic interest.
This works because animals don't have human rights. (Obviously.)
- hutzlibu 3y ago"lack of empathy means they might easily abuse humans too" So just in case, we should jail most of our animal farmers/slaughterhouse workers as well?
- otabdeveloper4 3y agoNo, because animals don't have human rights. We jail animal abusers based on a real-world idea of "pre-crime". (Unmotivated animal abuse strongly correlates with unmotivated violence against humans. For this same reason cartoon child porn is also illegal.)
