Given what we know about elephant intelligence and community, I'd be morally horrified by any level of systematic and ongoing "farming" of elephants for food. You may rightly accuse my of getting ahead of myself for extending the same feelings towards the mammoth for which we know less, but nevertheless I feel the same about them at the moment.
- throw310822 2y agoOf course, but this not what we are talking about. The gp objects to de-extinctioning the mammoth per se, not to farming it for food. As if the recreated mammoths would feel some unbearable sadness at the thought of being out of their time, or as if they missed their dead relatives from 10000 years ago.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI totally get this. Each person has to decide, where do I draw the line? My girlfriend won’t eat octopus, for instance, but is fine with beef or pork.
- pvaldes 2y agoChoosing to eat piglets and veals instead adult octopuses at the end of their life cycle seems unfair and immoral.
