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.
