FWIW, killing an animal because you need nutrition is more deferential than killing an animal because it wandered near where you space.
So you might find an ethical niche in there.
- SwellJoe 13y agoI agree, but, I disagree that one needs to kill an animal to get the necessary nutrition in our modern society. Were I starving in the wilderness, I would likely make the choice to eat meat in order to survive. But, we live in a time and place where the decision is clearly not one of survival. So, my decision to eat bugs would be considered on the ethics of the question, among others: Is it environmentally sustainable (and, in my case, it would need to be equal or greater than the sustainability of a plant-based diet)? Is it ethical (probably just whether the bugs suffer)? Is it healthy? Is it tasty?
