hmm what if the price of killing that animal...the machinery operation cost and any other costs related to how that animal is killed is deducted from all meat...can you buy that meat morally??

fuck no what i said above was pragmatic, but morally you shouldn't gain pleasure from someone else's misfortunate this is less of a logical argument as its a net moral neutral (in my opinion) but its true regardless can i turn this around and ask i viewing cp is moral as long as you don't buy it?

it will also depend though... if you keep you morals just defining your actions then ...other people's actions wouldn't affect your morals if your morals try to justify the whole system..then immoral i guess

well pragmatically i dont want to fuel an industry of animal abuse but ethics arent always pragmatic, like when I'm not actually contributing to abuse, I can still be complicit to the actions if i knew more about metaethics i could delve deeper, but unfortunately that shit puts me to sleep

the best thing to remember is 'reasonable' when you use applied ethics is killing a living creature immoral? some would say yes, but what if you have a roach infestation? at that point applied ethics kick in, and you are morally justified in fumigating your house

that is what I dont get...that just means the higher the concentration of sentient being in an area..lesser their value of life is
