I mean, vegetarianism prevents you from having to deal with animals being killed for you to eat (& the gross bits of the process of food creation). Wasn't giving a solution for full eco-friendliness, but something's better than nothing & most people avoid fur already, etc.

That's highly unlikely in most cases. Not to mention, I mean, eating beef is, again, literally against the point of vegetarianism. Also do people actually use mice traps? I've never seen a mouse unless it was in a tiny cage.

I was talking about for personal usage. I'm aware of its usage in farming. Worth noting, too, small rodents and birds are - generally speaking - considered less important than more intelligent animals by most. Most of it is about /minimisation/ of harm, though.

Do you have some reason to believe that a mouse is less intelligent or capable of suffering than a cow? My understanding is that an individual mouse is *more* neurologically sophisticated than a cow.

No clue what you mean by “this”, or “prey morality”. Although it sounds suspiciously likely to be Neo-Nietzschean “might makes right” meta-ethic.

this: hierarchies of moral significance by neural similarity to the speaker prey morality: construction by analogy with Nietzschean slave morality

prioritizing lifeforms based on how similar they are to you is just blatant chauvinism by basic progressive values, uplifting of the most oppressed, the greatest commitment is demanded for protection of the most oppressed lifeforms, which is to say, plants, fungi, and bacteria
