Default Dietary ethics

****wit David Harrison, cracker lighting tech at Mega Amusement, lied:


>>>>>>>> There is nothing inherently unethical about eating meat.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Modern meat production inflicts considerable suffering on animals.
>>>>>
>>>>> I want pigs to lead a stupendously happy life until they become bacon.
>>>>
>>>> That's good.
>>>
>>> If it's "good" then why are you maniacally opposed to people having
>>> appreciation for when millions of livestock animals experience decent lives of
>>> positive value, Goo?
>>>
>>>> Just don't make the mistake of thinking that if they do,
>>>> it justifies eating them. It doesn't.
>>>
>>> For one thing you don't know whether it "does" or not Goob, and for another
>>> only an eliminationist has reason to oppose giving the lives of livestock as
>>> much or more consideration than their deaths. Olrik doesn't appear to be an
>>> eliminationist and also doesn't appear to be opposed to taking the animals'
>>> lives into consideration.
>>>
>>>> The justification has to come
>>> >from elsewhere.
>>>
>>> Humans have as much justification to kill other animals as other animals
>>> have to kill humans and other animals Goo. Some people are capable of moving on
>>> beyond that point and actually consider the animals themselves and what's good
>>> and bad for them. Others of you only want to consider bad things because and
>>> only because considering positive aspects for millions of livestock animals
>>> works against the elimination objective.

>>
>> Show it.
