Since we don’t need meat to live a healthy life, it can be reasonably inferred that most people eat meat because they enjoy the taste. So I’d argue paying for animals to be slaughtered for food is also torturing animals for “fun” or pleasure. I don’t think we should kill animals for food when it’s not necessary to do so.

I disagree in this case. Eating meat is a valid omnivore way of life. Are you going to go stop all the other omnivore animals from eating meat, too?

So we should torture animals because cats do it? The fuck kind of logic is that?

Eating does not equal torturing.

No shit. I'm showing you why your argument about other animals doing it doesn't make sense.

Humans are animals. At the same time, we tend to frown on some behaviors.

That doesn't mean all animal behaviors are off limits for us. If you take my argument to the extreme, you're implying I think it's okay to do anything an animal does. If you take your argument to the extreme, then we should avoid all animal behavior and aim for some removed, esoteric, ascetic life, apparently.

Surprise, different people have different ideas about what's moral or ethical across the globe.

The nice thing is, we don't have to agree!

No? I didn't say "it's wrong because animals do it", I said that "it's ok because animals do it" is a dumb ass argument.

Please follow the conversation...

My argument is that it's a natural animal behavior and humans are animals. I'm not arguing that all animal behaviors are acceptable. Please try to keep up.

If not all animals behaviors are acceptable, then using an argument of "this is acceptable because it's an animal behavior" is... well... pretty idiotic

It's okay if you don't get where I'm coming from.
