Well, some people prefer dogs, some prefer cats and some prefer sheeps... ๐
Yeah but can sheep really consent, without a massive power dynamic
I really don't want to be arguing a pro-bestiality point here and I have no clue how one would go about the act. But I think a sheep would be able to hurt you pretty good if it wasn't okay with what is happening, same as a horse for example.
Holy shit I knew McAfee Antivirus man didn't die in that Spanish prison
Shhh. You know nothing.
You guys need to calm down. Maybe the guy wants to have a steak, but he also wants the meat to be as fresh as possible.. ๐
Unnecessarily killing or harming a sentient individual is wrong, full stop
under what ethical system?
Consent requires sentience so no animal can consent regardless of power dynamic.
Hence why veganism is a moral obligation to animals. It's indefensible to kill or exploit/harm an animal without their consent (which they can't give), and which clearly isn't in their best interests
it makes no sense to discuss consent from non-human animals. do you ask plans for consent before cutting them? or doors for consent before opening them and putting your whole body through them?
it makes no sense to discuss consent from Mom's animals. do you ask plants for consent before cutting them or doors for consent before opening them?
That's a stupid argument, just by having sentience doesn't mean we have any moral obligations to our food sources. There are plenty of incentives to human being's health and society by reducing meat consumption, why would you choose such a weak reason instead?
Sheep are sentient. You probably mean sapient.
Looks like the definition has changed in the last decade, then, because it used to exclude children younger than 5.
Well it means able to perceive or feel things
