  I am better than the kid in the article. I don’t go around killing animals with no meaning.

    Killing for fun or killing for taste pleasure are about the same amount of “meaning”. Especially to the corpses.

      That’s nonsensical and you know it. Big difference between sustenance and random violence.

        I wasn’t talking about sustenance. Read again.

      You don’t have a point, you’re just here to stir up shit for fun. I don’t know why you enjoy that, maybe you should consider why you feel that way.

  I don’t need a reason, neither animals nor fetuses are sapient and Idgaf about them.

  I do think we should reduce our meat consumption, but that is only so that we don’t overexploit the environment and cause catastrophe, and so that we can eventually establish council communism and redistribute resources more evenly between the proletariat, so we may all benefit from nature’s spoils rather than the inherent inequity of the owner-worker system we have now.

    Babies and small children aren’t sapient either. So up to what age of a child would you say it is morally ok to cut their throat?

      Nah they’re pretty sapient. I get you’re anti-abortion too?

        Sapience is about applying wisdom, knowledge, intelligence. Babies are not sapient. Did you mean sentient?

        killing babies, unless it’s like baby Hitler doesn’t really serve any purpose (human pleasure is happiness, and maximisation of happiness is purpose)

        And yet if someone’s only source of happiness in life was killing babies, I am sure you would be against that.

        I take it you’re anti-abortion too then?

        Abortion rights only relate tangentially to sapience and sentience. Even if the lump of cells inside a womb was sentient and sapient I would still be pro-choice, since abortion is about bodily autonomy. But think about why you would assume I am against abortion rights. Did that maybe make it easier to dismiss my entire point?
