account dedicated to posting about how great eating dogs is. Generating ungodly amounts of seethe

that's weird, I think that humans have a lot more intrinsic value than animals because they are able to think, plan, and make the world better for other humans, of which I am one

world has potential to be made a better place by them, so unless they blow it big time, they're worth more than some bovine evolutionary dead end or a nice juicy dachshund

harder im literally shoving meat up my butt rn and feel euphoric

Eating humans gives you all sorts of weird diseases you should also like things that look like you. It’s basic instinct if you have the same instinctual reaction to an animal as you do a human then you are mentally broken

Is there a reason your logic doesn't apply to humans

Opportunity cost. It's relatively cheaper to produce "meat" from animals as opposed to humans.

Yes, economics should guide our moral judgments.

Humans are intrinsically more valuable than animals, you r-slur

Arguments like this is why people hate vegans

Because you can’t give humans a comfortable life while farming them due to the innate fear of death. I suppose you could hide it from them but most people are naturally curious and someone would find out eventually. Especially since providing a happy life would require regular interaction with other humans and trips to the outdoors.

This is the same logic I apply to dogs actually. All dogs have jobs they are hardwired to do and in order to be happy they have to do them. This is why keeping dogs as pets in environments unsuited to them (like a city) is cruel also. Ultimately no one is going to spend the resources to ethically farm dogs because the cost outweighs the rewards. That’s why I can say with relative certainty that eating dog is immoral while eating locally raised chicken and beef isn’t.

It’s funny to be arguing from a carnist standpoint since I’m a functional vegetarian anyways. I just don’t like the taste of meat lol.

I am a libertarian

it does

Humans are more useful as organ donors, and we do do that

Wow you're really enlightened

Literally any moral framework either has to appeal to a superhuman authority or admit to being moral relativism. You either appeal to a personified god, or to some abstract notion of "science" or "nature" or "justice". But at the end of the day it's just Munchausen's trilemma- you have to make some axiomatic assumptions that have no basis other than "it's true because it just is, okay!"

Comments like these help my moral compass go in the direction of enabling cannibalism. Not out of need for survival or any ethical comparison with animals, I just think some people need to be reminded that they can and will be eaten.

If those chickens are getting killed anyway, why not take advantage of it and get some delicious food from it?

Why? I'm not saying the animals can't be mad at me for eating them; I wouldn't begrudge them of that. A random person in Ohio who feels strongly about eating meat, however, isn't entitled to an explanation for me eating meat.

If the government wants to make meat-eating illegal, the same way theft is, I'm not about to continue eating meat and claim I shouldn't be arrested. It's not comparable.

Based

But you didn't, you specified property theft. If a human were to pick up a fruit from your garden and you shot them without even trying to communicate with them that it's yours that is hardly defensible ethically.

If you want to propose that it's ethical to kill your a coyote just trying to live you'd need to at least attempt to genuinely solve it without violence without success first.

I don't usually come back to rdrama and see 30 notifications from people dying to represent me as a soyjak lol
