What is "moral" or ethical about deliberately breeding a being, whether or not she can feel "pain", just to kill her?<br /><br />The idea of "meat" is totally unnecessary! Given all the problems associated with "livestock" - The environment and health issues to humans, you'd think we'd focus our energy on figuring out how to feed people real "food". <br /><br />The idea of fattening animals 6 - 10 times the amount of plant based protein we could feed to people directly is absurd.<br /><br />And as long as we're talking about the ethics of "eliminating the unpleasantness of pain" so that gluttonous meat eating habits can continue "guilt-free"...<br /><br />What about we set up some kind of system where we can grow humans who don't feel pain... We could use them in fields instead of workers... Replace the unsound "science" of animal testing. We could harvest their organs --- Gosh the list is endless; What we could do "guilt free".<br /><br />Please do not confuse "guilt" with ethics... No one has a right to "use" an Other for their own ends. <br /><br />Thanks for inviting comment...<br />Want to make a better world?
