@PhilosophyExp Not saying farming cows is ok, but isn't the lion thing worse in that it was for fun, and also they have 'vulnerable' status?
Never kill a good looking, fluffy animal with cute eyes - that way lies trouble. But factory faming ugly cows... no problem there...

@PhilosophyExp I mean, if someone kills a cow for 'sport' and poses smiling with a photo of it... similar to bullfighting I guess. -
@NotungSchwert To make that argument work, you've got to show that we're right in not getting worked up about factory farming. -
@PhilosophyExp It's more that I think not reacting to factory farming is understandable even if it's wrong.The lion thing just seems 'evil'. -
@NotungSchwert Right. But it's the fact it's understandable that I'm decrying. Cows don't have good PR... -
@PhilosophyExp I also think there's also an analogy with the destruction of great art, even if that's not the whole story.
