Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

[/b]Richard Dawkins can see no good moral reason for eating meat. He sees it as being akin to sexism or racism.

It seems that evolution tells us that we are nothing more than another animal so it's easy to see where Dawkins is coming from.

I suppose that you need to have a moral position that causing unnecessary pain and suffering is wrong.

Do you agree with Dawkins that on moral grounds, eating meat cannot be justified?

Absolutely not, at the most fundamental level.

Morality is an heuristic construct justified solely based on its value in enhancing long survival propsects of human communities by minimize unproductive friction in the community. To elevating aspects of heuristic to a fundamental principle governing aspects not really related to survival of human communities is to defeat the purpose of morality.
