If it’s acceptable for humans to exploit other animals for food, clothing, labor, entertainment or experiments because we’re more intelligent than them, would it be equally acceptable for a superintelligent alien race with 10x the mental capacity as humans to do the same to us?
That’s a good point. We should absolutely take any cruelty out of factory farming. I just take umbrage with the activists who claim all farming is cruel.
How is needless killing not cruel?
No matter how nicely you treat someone it’s cruel to kill them for profit/taste.
The definition of cruelty is, “wilfully causing pain or suffering to others, or feeling no concern about it.” Slaughter in most Western nations is done without pain or suffering. Even if it were, it would be incidental. Animals are unable to feel existential dread.
Any source for this funny idea?
