i don't care about the replies or the downVotes. This should be reminded every time.
Animals aren't people killing them isn't murder
Factory farms are abhorrent and should be done away with, eating meat is natural and there is nothing wrong with it. I can respect your view but your choice to be annoying and openly disrespect other views makes you just another common jackass.
Murder isn't something that can only be done to people.
By definition, yes it is
Then that's a useless and arbitrary definition
Nope.
I just want to point out that something being "natural" does not inherently make it ok. Killing other creatures of the same species (murder) is "natural", rape is "natural", stealing is "natural".
The entire point of ethics/morality is to distinguish between the natural things which we find good, and the natural things we find bad and want ourselves and others to stop doing.
My point being that if you want to defend eating meat as morally ok, you should do so without the "appeal to nature".
you are not a lion. you're a pathetic ape.
