7/ ethics prevented eating dogs because dogs are part of the human community. They have co-evolved with humans for tens of thousands of years, are fellow omnivores, are hunting partners, can read our expressions, can track our eyes, and they like us, and we like them.

8/ I've raised chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, and pigs. None of them are loyal (like a dog), intelligent (like a dog), read our emotions (like a dog), follow my gaze (like a dog), help me with chores (like a dog) or seem to care about my existence (like a dog).

9/ So, my question to you,
@NHpilled , is: please use science and/or logic to show me that my ethical claim that loyalty-and-team-work is the correct metric to divide edible-outgroup from inedible-ingroup is false.2 replies 2 retweets 39 likesShow this thread -

ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs @MorlockPMy Twitter mutuals are equal parts "I studied philosophy for 20 years and now I have a degree that lets me earn $7.25 an hour" and "giants are real, but the secret Council of Ravens doesn't want you to know". Honestly, the giants/ravens kids are making better life choices.Show this thread3 replies 2 retweets 42 likesShow this thread -
11/ ...but I've poked at these kind of questions enough (i.e. more than 5 minutes) to understand that logic and science can't define an ethical basis for ANYTHING bc ethical bases are axiomatic and not subject to being proven or disproven

13/ You've got it inverted. It's not the presence of a trait that ALLOWS us to eat animals; is the presence of a trait that DISALLOWS us to eat [ certain ] animals. That trait is a mix of intelligence, loyalty, and membership in the human community.https://twitter.com/NHpilled/status/1497975817908854786 …

14/ I see that trait present in dogs, great apes, dolphins (many stories of dolphins helping people) and - perhaps - whales.

15/ Aside from those few examples, I'm ok with people [ humanely ] killing and eating just about any creature.

16/ I'm speaking of species as a whole having this membership or non membership. A particular dog can be disloyal, and I still won't eat it.https://twitter.com/NHpilled/status/1497979643533697031 …

17/ so, I've answered your question [ even if you don't love my answer ]. Now it's time for you to answer my question: show me, using logic and science, why it's immoral to eat mutton and beef.
