Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[Angrboda]

I don't mind people who choose to be vegetarian a slave-owner. It's when they go around claiming I'm less moral than them for eating meat owning them that I call bullshit. That's mularkey.

The question of vegetarianism is really about moral philosophy: on what basis do we take a moral position? If we believe that some should be extended liberties or securities on principle, then on what principle to we exclude others? Age? Race? Socioeconomic status? Species?

Species.

I note the complete absence of an argument in your reply. Asserting that meat eating is morally in the same ballpark as slavery is asserting a moral claim. Unfortunately, you didn't back it with anything. That which can be asserted without evidence support, can be dismissed without evidence support. If you want to step up to the plate and defend your moral claim, do so. Otherwise it's worthless, and I'm fully justified in assuming eating meat has no inherent moral dimension.
