I don't think that the "animal rights" movement "promotes clean killing as an ethical good". Sometimes these videos are released with the intent of persuading people to stop consuming meat (and perhaps even eggs and dairy). But even if the videos are only intended to change certain abusive practices within the meat industry, I think many people would agree that abuse followed by killing is worse than killing alone.
- lilsunnybee 14y agoThe composition of beliefs in the animal rights movement varies quite a bit. There are some that believe all killing of animals is wrong. But there are a greater number that believe the suffering inflicted by cruelty and careless farming methods is the only evil here. Some organizations are entirely devoted only to stopping cruel practices. Some of these people might be against eating meat entirely too, but only because they believe factory farming and cruelty is an inevitability for the mass production of meat. Movements are inevitably made up of many different kinds of people with varying motives. There are always going to be radicals (like many with PETA), but the majority often have reasonable arguments and concerns.
