MODERATORS
Look, I don't disagree with your point necessarily, but you're not winning over literally anyone in this thread. It's just not happening.
Nobody ever has been convinced that dairy is rape and meat is murder by some Lemmy user saying "dairy is rape" and following up with "because it is".
Most obviously, your primary argument is consequentialism, which many people just don't see as a valid form of ethics. Many people subscribe to deontology instead, and so they don't see it as rape because they are not obtaining sexual gratification from artificial insemination or drinking milk.
You're telling me motive makes a bad thing okay to do under deontology? In other words, it's okay for a deontologist to murder someone if they have a cool motive?
I dunno I thought Kant said you should never do bad things even if you have a good reason.
Imo, Kant's principles don't really apply in this scenario, the Categorical Imperative applies to human-to-human treatment. Kant's primary principle is act as such it would become universal law. Animal consumption is already a universal law.
Murder (of a human) is wrong because when applied universally, then society collapses. Theft is wrong because when applied universally, the right of property, and therefore society, collapses.
Animal consumption doesn't cause societal collapse.
Thoughts?
Animal consumption causes factory farming, and farming causes chickens to develop stress-induced autophagia. I don't like it when the chickens are so unhappy they eat themselves and need to be debeaked. We should all stop doing things that cause that.
no, it doesn't
