The sheep might be an oof depending on context. But seems fine otherwise. They seem happy

Well, some people prefer dogs, some prefer cats and some prefer sheeps... ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah but can sheep really consent, without a massive power dynamic

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I really don't want to be arguing a pro-bestiality point here and I have no clue how one would go about the act. But I think a sheep would be able to hurt you pretty good if it wasn't okay with what is happening, same as a horse for example.

You guys need to calm down. Maybe the guy wants to have a steak, but he also wants the meat to be as fresh as possible.. ๐Ÿ˜… He is also making sure that the sheap is as relaxed/respected as possible, so he put it on the front seat. Stressless meat I've heard tastes better.. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Unnecessarily killing or harming a sentient individual is wrong, full stop

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

under what ethical system?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Consent requires sentience so no animal can consent regardless of power dynamic.

Consent requires sentience

i don't think one has anything to do with the other.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you can't think then you don't make decisions, basically.

they are unrelated.

Hence why veganism is a moral obligation to animals. It's indefensible to kill or exploit/harm an animal without their consent (which they can't give), and which clearly isn't in their best interests

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

it makes no sense to discuss consent from non-human animals. do you ask plans for consent before cutting them? or doors for consent before opening them and putting your whole body through them?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That's a stupid argument, just by having sentience doesn't mean we have any moral obligations to our food sources. There are plenty of incentives to human being's health and society by reducing meat consumption, why would you choose such a weak reason instead?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It's an oof because it shows, yes, we could live happily coexisting with animals without unnecessarily exploiting, enslaving, abusing and killing them for commodities and entertainment, which we have alternatives for. The future is vegan/plant-based and animal rights are respected in a progressive world.
