Childhood indoctrination

[Forbinator]

To accept that, as whateverist has stated, we are a part of not apart from this ecosystem called earth is the only way forward. A "Clean Kill" is ALWAYS preferred above the debauchery of Kosher and Halal methods and that animals and us co-exist and are slaves to each other has brought our species to this impasse where politics is taking centre stage to the actual issue at hand.

So you are against animal cruelty then, at least to the extent that it is convenient for you. May I ask why? If you're rejecting the notion that we should behave in a civilised manner towards them, then surely animal cruelty would be acceptable under that system? "The Germans are Coming" has already brushed this aside by saying that morality is always based on convenience, but surely there are moral positions where people are required to rise above convenience? There is a serious inconsistency if you're against beating a cow with a stick for fun (senseless cruelty) but are happy to pay slaughterhouse workers to beat a cow with a stick to get her to walk to her death (legalised cruelty that is inevitable in that system of food production). To you, these actions are different, but to the victim they are identical. Why be against one cruelty but support another?
