    animals are killed all the time out of convenience or by accident or for profit. it’s so common that i think a justification must be made that it is immoral.

        i think it’s amoral, actually. and a phenomenon being so ubiquitous is a good indicator of amorality, even if it is not a guarantee.

        edit: do you have an argument that killing non-human animals is not moral?

          They are sentient beings, killing them without need is immoral since it’s causing pain for the sake of it.

          I don’t think it’s wrong to kill an animal for sustenance but it should be done in the most humane way possible and factory farming is the complete opposite of that.

            did you mean immoral here?
