(February 3, 2015 at 3:53 am)Rhythm Wrote: I just want to know precisely what it is that an argument is required -for-. I have very little time before I have to go to the chocolate factory..lol. Seems, as mentioned, that it's livestock production, not livestock consumption...that's the issue, or a possible issue...by reference to what, if I may ask?
(I keep animals and kill them, btw, and I sometimes kill animals I don't keep and eat them - but I do buy quite a bit from others, sure, lots of mouths to feed....so try to remember that you're not having a conversation with a careless or unconnected diner)

Saying "an argument is required for" is maybe misleading, as if it weren't clear what the purpose of eating meat is. It's about the moral appraisal of an action. When you choose to eat meat, usually an animal has been killed for the purpose, and you can decide whether you think this is a good idea or not. I don't see how this is mysterious.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
