If it was never sentient, what’s the fundamental difference between eating the animal cells as opposed to plant cells? Not trying to argue, just genuinely curious what the issue would be
I'm not saying there's an ethical issue. Just for many people who haven't eaten meat in a long time, the idea of eating meat in any capacity feels disturbing. The same way a lot of western meat eaters would feel uncomfortable with eating dog meat despite it not being ethically different from other commonly eaten western meats (pigs are generally considered more intelligent than dogs), or you'd be uncomfortable with consensual cannibalism, because it feels wrong regardless of actual ethical implications.
Fair enough, I see your point
