Interesting! I wonder if this is as principled as you say. Would you feel the same about the difference between killing humans to eat them compared to eg normal agriculture?
("...as you say" I suppose you didn't say that, but I think you know what I mean). Normal agriculture reportedly ruins soil, which in theory probably will kill people/animals later.
Free range humans do pretty well. I don’t think I would be preserving anything😆
Don't have to be free range. The Azteks showed that. Part of my point was that intent to kill seems far more evil to the average person when it is intent to kill humans.
And would you do the same with a policy like not lowering a speed limit (can lead to economic wins, but very slightly more deaths) vs. intentionally killing people?
Would you feel the same way about say tobacco plants, which are not necessary for human survival, but many people think are part of what makes life pleasant?
Idk how I would apply it to every situation. I admit my sentiment is a bit of a knee jerk reaction to what I see as the growing safe & sanitised vegan vision of human animal relations
The plant based project in the vid breaks our symbiotic relationship with cattle, wipes out a bunch of mice and claims moral high ground because they didn’t ‘intentionally’ kill?
A project to switch azteks to eating pork "breaks their symbiotic relationship" with their prisoners, is sure to kill a lot of microorganisms and claims moral high ground becau....?
Mind you, your conclusion seems OK to me, I'm just not so sure you have perfect logical groundwork around it. :)
I guess that my philosophy on these matters is, "there are always more things to think about". I do not feel it makes sense to make any absolutist choices on any of these issues.
