It is morally okay to slaughter dogs for meat or leather. Non-human animals have no rights whatsoever. The whole "dogs are smart" argument is bullshit. Especially when you take into account that pigs are smarter than dogs yet nobody, except for vegetarians and vegans bats an eye when they are used for meat consumption. Also pigs are sometimes used as pets and pet pig owners literally don't care that other pigs are being eaten.
@Alex All living organisms exist at the expense of another.
@Alex Both, it's natural to harm and help any number of organisms.
In the end, right and wrong actions can only exist in a mind complex enough to understand morally.
We as a species are our own judge and Jerry.
In this era of history eating animals is fine.
In the next era it won't be acceptable.
I live closely to our worlds Overton windows around morality, but that doesn't mean I believe in it. I simply have to follow it to socialize with other people.
@Alex @Mr_NutterButter If you want to minimize harm, veganism is NOT the way to go. Veganism actually kills more animals than meat eating.
