  What’s unhinged is people who think they have the right to confine, torture, exploit, rape, murder, and devour the flesh and/or secretions of other animals just because they’re different.

  Yeah I get that bugs are easy to dismiss because they’re tiny, often obnoxious and treated like a nuisance, and less intelligent than other animals. But we’re still talking about living beings who have their own subjective experience of life, individuality, and their own agenda. Like all animals they came into this life with us, not for us.

  Commodifying living beings is unhinged. And even ignoring the moral side of things, having a preference for bee vomit is unhinged.

        >Your head must be deep in the sand if you think that’s true

        this looks like a thought terminating cliche. have you considered addressing the substance of what i said, or is it all hand waving and shouting on your end?

        >If your lifestyle choices cause suffering and atrocity, don’t you think you have a responsibility to at least be aware of what you’re complicit in

        yes, but they don't, so it's no big deal.

    The subjective experience of insects is so unbelievably alien from that of humans that trying to anthropomorphize them or compare their existence to that of humans is actually insane. Just by existing as megafauna, you probably kill hundreds or thousands of insects a year.
