That's a personal choice that people are allowed to make for themselves.

See this is what I told people when they found out I had sex with my dog, and they said I was crazy and abusive! Like, it's my own choice!

>inb4 some child left behind replies with "are you equating eating meat for sustenance with rape?"

Yes. You could eat something else for sustenance. The reason you choose meat is because it's a more enjoyable experience for you, despite the inherent harm. That sounds similar to another topic I mentioned in this comment

Are the animals also allowed a choice in the matter?

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago

That misses the question a bit, no? Everything that is wrong to do is a personal choice. It’s not relevant to whether or not it should be done

Not really, some things are objectively bad and wrong and other things are merely subjective.

The problem we're having here are people who hold their subjective beliefs very strongly are then adamant that it makes said beliefs objective, just because they believe them.

Killing someone who's done nothing to you and doesn't want to die is pretty objectively bad.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, killing other people is objectively bad. Thank you for agreeing with me.

[-] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

Could you tell me how you measured that badness and how I can repeat the experiment?

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

even things like killing being bad is not objective in my opinion, it just simply stems from our minds and societies' process of growth through natural selection.

We believe that killing is bad only because we share the majority of their DNA and we are close genetically to what we're killing. It was evolutionarily incentivised to not kill those that are genetically close, as they and we share common ancestors from which such thoughts evolved.

this is imo why we value humans more than other animals, animals more than vegetables and relatives over strangers. Friends being valued more than strangers make sense as well, as they share ideas in the place of the shared genome.

in a wider scope none of this matters anyway, our lives and deaths are irrelevant to the universe and our lives don't actually matter outside what our minds tell us.
