    If you like: pretending that killing an animal is morally equivalent to killing a human

    You should try: growing a brain

      When did I say that? My statement points out that rituals to make yourself feel better about killing an animal do not change that animal’s experience of being killed or the moral weight of that action

        You said they were morally equivalent when you called it murder, and you said it again just now. Why does killing an animal for food carry any moral weight? Cheetahs don’t get any flak for hunting caribou.

          A human is an animal too, so i might kill it for food with no moral weight to it. Great.

          But if you compare yourself to a cheetah, I get that your intellect and morals are just… Primal 😁
