I'm against legalizing bestiality because the animal consent problem hasn't been solved, but probably actually will be quite soon thanks to Al (at least for the higher animals with complex languages). So why not wait a few more years. I don't see disgust as a good reason. It was an evolutionary adaptation of the agricultural era against the spread of zoonotic illnesses, but technology will soon make that entirely irrelevant as well.
Killing people is not always immoral, yet you dont see many people advocating murder. But when it comes to meat, it's a different story.
If you make a scenario extreme enough, you can debatebro anything. "Would you shoot a baby if you could save the lives of trillions?". "What about baby Hitler?". Ultimately all these are meaningless thought exercises. And it is sad that so many people are trying to rationalize and excuse their consumption of meat. But i guess everyone is a product of their environment and meat consumption is normalized in our society.
There wouldnt be any domesticated animals. We help the ones that exist and once they are gone, they are gone. We wont breed more.
First of all, are you seriously equating eating animals to killing people?
Second, in your ideal world, humans and animals would have no relations whatsoever? Sounds pretty boring imo
You can interact with animals but on a different basis. Instead of imprisoning them in your house, they will be free to come and go.
Domestication isn't fair to the dogs, sure, fine, whatever. You know what's really not fair to the dogs? Letting them go extinct because you feel some type of way about how they're treated.
