@xianc78 absolutely soulless take from a libertarian no less
@bronze Why do people care so much about dogs? Why is it illegal to slaughter and eat them when we can slaughter and eat pigs, who are much more intelligent?
Both vegan and normie animal rights don't make any sense. The most logical stance is to say that natural rights only apply to humans and any other sentient life. All other life is open to slaughter unless they are owned by someone else.
@AsukaNeko @xianc78 @bronze THE BATTLE FOR THE WORD "SAPIENT" HAD BEEN LOST QUIETLY, LITERALLY OVERSHADOWED BY OUR STRUGGLE FOR "FIGURATIVELY"
@AsukaNeko @xianc78 @nugger you don't understand
ants don't have feelings so I can go buy a dog and torture / abuse it
and because its my own private business libertarians aren't allowed to be upset at me for it

@AsukaNeko @xianc78 @nugger a dog's life and well being is infinitely more valuable than a libertarian's

WHEN EMPATHY IS WITHDRAWN, APPEALS TO PRINCIPLES AND ESSENTIALISM EVAPORATE.
NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO DEFEND ONESELF ON THE BASIS OF SOME ESSENTIAL QUALITY OF HUMANITY.
THE COMPARISON IS JUST ACCEPTED AT FACE VALUE AMD A UTILITARIAN TRANSACTIONAL ARGUMENT IS MADE.
"YUP, IM AS VALUABLE AS A DOG IN PRINCIPLE, BUT LOOK AT WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU THAT A DOG CAN'T"

@xianc78 @bronze @AsukaNeko IS THAT A CULTURAL THING, OR IS IT LEARNED FROM INSTITUTIONS OR WHAT? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
