From what I've been told by rape victims, I'd much rather be murdered.

Who do you personally consider a bigger criminal?

  • Human murdering other animal without their consent?
  • Human raping other animal without their consent?

(We are making judgments solely based on the animal's perspective. So we can't include disingenuous human arguments like "They died a noble death for our survival".)

raping an animal is still worse. Morally, killing animals is bad but it does provide a method of survival wether it’s moral or amoral, raping an animal is just a sick and twisted desire that is not only gross and unnatural but also does not provide any method for survival, so while no it’s not noble like your premise claims the argument to be it’s just seem as societally gross for a good reason.

From the animal’s perspective, you could argue rape continues their species and therefor is natural like killing, cannibalism etc. but that doesn’t change the dynamic between humans and animals. To the animal, dying is death and it’s something every living thing has to do, getting raped/rape is not

Through Animal's perspective - Raping an animal is bad but Killing is worst outcome as it removes them from the gene pool, which means they can't be able to produce their offspring and continue their progeny/generation. ~ Humans justify killing animals because they think through their own benefits, because they neglect animal's perspective.

Right, I think a lot of my understanding does revolve around being a human and I cannot separate myself from that morality & most animals are driven by survival if that makes sense. This question is so fucking wild
