I’ve resolved recently that I can only eat animals the will seek out and kill other animals / bugs for food under standard conditions. So no cows, deer. Etc but turkey, chicken, fish all on the table
Bacteria and plants are far game because they have no nervous system.
will seek out and kill other animals / bugs for food under standard conditions. So no cows, deer. Etc
Who wants to tell them?
Because dogs, cats, and humans don’t have the same nutritional value as other meats.
As most life cycles go; Lifeform A consumes lifeform C, requiring nutrients Z, and produces nutrients X. Lifeform B doesn’t produce nutrients X and consumes lifeform A, producing nutrients Y. Lifeform B dies, gets decomposed by lifeform C that turns nutrients Y into nutrients Z.
If lifeform B consumes another lifeform B, or something similar to lifeform B, then they won’t get nutrients X.
You get the idea.
The problem is that this is a valid argument, a lot of morality ultimately comes down to drawing the line on what you think its ok to kill in order to maintain your survival and comfort.
