A tiger has every right to kill an antelope as a human has to kill a cow. The real ethical problem for me lies not in the killing of animals, but rather the conditions they live in prior to execution, and the method of execution. There is a way to ethically consume meat, and it is non industrial and requires each person to do the kill so as to not be alienated from the significance of killing an animal to feed oneself.
I agree, but a tiger doesn’t breed antelope into being, and feed them at the expense of all life on earth just so they can have a nice meal.
If you’re hunting, fine. They were eating grass and stuff from the ecosystem.
If you’re farming then you’re creating massive amounts of waste to generate meat.
If you’re going to go all biblical to make us feel bad then you have to acknowledge how the bible also says all the animals are here for us specifically.
I’m not religious and even I know it says that.
Funnily enough there’s actually wording in Genesis that could be taken imply humans are just supposed to eat plants, with humans just ruling the animal kingdom and not devouring it.
Feel free to look up Genesis 1:25-31 to see what I mean, though of course translations are…
Very variable.
Regardless, most interpretations agree that what humans absolutely shouldn’t be doing is causing a mass extinction that is set to kill just about every complex life form on Earth.
Went to war and only killed one dude?
For a Vietnam vet, statistically it was more likely to be his CO than an enemy combatant
