hmmm I wonder how much incivility this explains maybe not a ton lots of other causes of incivility probably but this one is one of the sadder ones

What's your ethical view on it? I didn't become one because of ethics but logically I think they're sound. Animals are pretty universally considered sentient, and it does seem a *little* messed up to kill them when there are alternatives.
-
it's murky I guess you get to trading off quantity and quality of animal lives pretty quickly and there are creepy-ass margins too--engineer animals to enjoy caging and slaughter? urk I'm not sure humans are sufficiently close to god to handle this kind of moral responsibility
-
Good thing more animals eating more animals because they can and it still works is...still how it goes...just like last epoch...and next epoch... *rolls eyes at angel cosplayers*
-
I think there's a case to be made for reengineering ecosystems to reduce wild animal suffering as soon as it's feasible tbqh
-
Reengineering, as in, given a more or less un-human-affected system, you would like to intervene and modify it so fewer "wild animals" suffered and/or died?
-
You do realize that's even more utterly bonkers than modifying consumption preferences, right? You actually think you can craft in situ a version of the Pacific Northwest where timber wolves can thrive with less deer pain? And that trying will bear positive results?
-
It's not currently feasible :D But it's a noble aim We're nigh gods and we should conduct ourselves accordingly
