Steak

[Brian37]

This part I have a problem with. I never said we ought to eat meat. We're free to do so or not. It is, in my opinion, an amoral act.

It is the case that some animals eat other animals, therefore we ought to be ok with the case that some animals eat other animals.

That's the reasoning underlying your argument.

In addition, rape and murder are unjustified because people don't generally wish to be murdered or raped, and therefore it's reasonable to not murder and rape others so that our desires would hopefully be respected.

Does the antelope desire to be eaten by the lion? Does the deer long to be shot by the hunter? Does the cow wish to be slaughtered?

Let me know when other animals are capable of respecting other animal's desires (including humans) to not be eaten.

Fallacy of appeal to hypocrisy.

So, where, in your opinion, is it rational to draw the line?

I don't know yet, I've just never seen a rational justification to kill animals to eat.

We need plants for oxygen and we still kill them. As cute as seals are and as much as humans react to a great white eating them, seals eat living fish,

I eat meat and if you want me to give it up just because of your own emotional raction to an evolution that wont conform to your utopia. please excuse me while I barf at your Purple Barny after school logic.
