Consuming anything other than water, by your logic, would be wrong, then. Unless you believe that water is alive.

Didn’t you just say that they all have the right to live?

Peskybird1234
And anyways, how is it morally acceptable to just choose if something should be alive or not based on if they think?

How do you know that animals even want to be alive? What if they just want to reproduce, as is the goal of all living things?

The thing about that is that we’re omnivores, and we’re smarter than most other animals, so we can make choices about what we eat.

I’m saying that animals don’t have any more rights than plants

Plus, if they are already dead, what is the harm in putting their meat to good use?

  1. Because if they can’t think, they won’t mind being dead; they won’t know they’re dead, they don’t know.
  2. Animals can feel emotions and pain. Even if they didn’t want to live, they definitely wouldn’t want to suffer.

Can a carnivore choose to eat plants? Can a herbivore choose to eat meat?

I think steak and beef are the same, one is cooked and the other is just beef
