Why not kill off all the animals who eat meat to save the vegetearing animals? Because that would lead to other animals overpopulating and messing up the environment! 3.) How do you not know that but fore there use as food for people chickens, cows and pigs would have gone extict or will go extinct in the future? Is it not better to live a short life and be made food rather than to have been wiped out centuries age? 4.) While the living conditions of animals need to be improved there is no evidence that they experience emotions (that cant be explained by instincts) or desire a future which are essential when determining the worth of a creatures life to itself. PS: As far as science goes in the next couple of decades we will be able to produce meat without any awarness or intelligence at all. In my opinion this is bad as then the animals wont even have a short life to live as they will no longer be bred at all. There are billions of pigs in the world and barely any Polar bears. Which one do we eat again? |
1.) Because humans should have a higher level of consideration for other animals. Our morality shouldn't be compared to other animals.
2.) Same as above
3.) Who knows? It's an hypothetical. How could anyone answer that question?
4.) What kind of emotions? Fear? Curiosity? These are found in farmed mammals
