that's the nonsense aspect with your position.

You need to explain why we should not consider the lives
of animals. Hey I know what...try doing it NOW:

Because there's no point to it. In fact it's probably the most pointless
idea I've ever heard. If animals exist we ought to consider the conditions
we provide them, that's it.


Sure, they're
tasty, but do they appreciate life more than mice?

I believe even very young chickens do. That is
from personal experience around both.

So just being destined to be eaten makes an animal appreciate life,

Of course that's not it.

or what is it?

Try again.

I think mice are more intelligent than either chickens or cows, but not
pigs.
