Well, some people prefer dogs, some prefer cats and some prefer sheeps... ๐
Yeah but can sheep really consent, without a massive power dynamic
Consent requires sentience so no animal can consent regardless of power dynamic.
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
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?
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?
