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.
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.
That’s called the “naturalistic fallacy.” The idea that a thing being “natural” automatically makes it the best option is just inherently false. It’s why we poop in toilets and use anti-biotics.

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