I don't find might is right to be a convincing moral argument. The only reason I was born a human instead of one of the 300 billion animals humanity consumes each year is the outcome of a lottery system, simple as that. Consider whether you'd feel the same way when applying a "veil of ignorance" test.
- kelipso 6mo agoHe’s not making a might is right argument.
- DangitBobby 6mo agoYes he is. "Nothing more natural than one animal eating another" is might makes right. It's also an appeal to nature, but in this case it's both.
- kelipso 6mo agoWeaker animals can eat stronger animals. Pack animals, carrion feeders, bugs, animals feeding their offspring, etc. So almost entirely an appeal to nature argument.
- DangitBobby 6mo agoI think we're going to have to agree to disagree.
