Neither do cows but I’ve seen one too many slurp a Snake like spaghetti and eat baby birds as if they were KitKats

Just because an animal does it doesn’t mean it’s okay for humans to do it

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy boi. If a cow ever got the chance, he’d eat you and everyone you care about!

Aren’t we also “just” animals as well though?

(Not defending either side, I just really dislike it when statements suggest we aren’t also literally animals that somehow figured out to think slightly more than others…)

Technically correct is the best correct. We are animals!

We are animals in a very literal sense, but justifying an immoral act because it’s natural for animals to do it opens the door to justifying other immoral acts because animals do them. Humans are animals, but we’re uniquely the only animals capable of choosing to act ethically.

Many animals reproduce via rape. If I need to explain further, then I can’t help you

Then comparing human teeth to animal teeth is irrelevant no? Because what the animals do is irrelevant.
