It has nothing to do with your subjective experience and everything to do with the fact that wanton use of resources, animals, and people for selfish purposes is fundamentally immoral and atrocious. The fact that the aggregate effect ends up being a crime against nature is why these atrocities are innumerable. By simply existing and opting into the system you are complicit in its operation and propagation.

You don't have to see a live animal torn to bits to be implicated in the unethical farming and slaughter of animals, all you have to do is spend a dollar to support the system that makes it all possible.

I'm trying to clarify your position here: Do you think that eating a creature, farmed, raised and killed in accordance with current legislation, is the same level of atrocity as laughing with pleasure as a live animal is torn apart, just for the joy of the audience?

Because, TBH, if you argue that those two are the same in level and intensity of "evilness", then you are, in all fairness, not playing with a full deck.

If you argue that they are not, then your original comment is off the mark.


Oh so you're doing me a favor? That's great but the only favor I need from you is to tell your friends about the panoptic computronium cathedral. Thanks again for being so helpful but I just need money to save humanity and don't need anyone to clarify my position because it is pretty clear if you have an IQ high enough to understand it.
