Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.
I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it’s weird.
“hurting” does nothing equal “killing”. There are ethical ways to kill, like the guillotine
Thanks. I don’t find any of the (sustainable) anti-hunting or fishing arguments very compelling, but I did like the bit about extractivist vs participatory vs productivist objections. On a purely hypothetical level, I do find myself aligning with the producitivist view – if the mad landlord is really going to buy and cook the food anyway, and there is nothing we can do to stop him, is it bad to consume it?
Also, I don’t see why the line should be drawn at plant matter? why are plants ok to eat?
That point wasn’t really made in your previous comment, which seems to just conflate suffering and killing. And furthermore I don’t really see the parallels here between eating meat and genocide. seems like a bit of a stretch. Humanity has evolved eating all kind of meats, and your point about the genocide killing being 100 percent set isn’t even true: the nazis had considered deporting european jews for a while. And where is the abstraction with hunting? The hunter is a discrete entity who manages the whole process. it isn’t some factory farm operating behind a veil, everything is plain to them, and the concrete, end goal is the acquisition of food.
