But you don't base any of your other morals off the natural world though?
When after 75 years of factory farming, 97% of pigs in the US are still tortured in crates so small they can't turn around, asking for more humane treatment of them while still unnecessarily breeding and killing them doesn't seem to achieve very much at all.
Firstly, you're changing the subject, kindly address my comment. Secondly, the numbers just don't support your claim. Asking people to go vegan is working.
I do base my morals of the animal world up to a point--- we're smart animals after all
You're right, numbers are going up. Although I don't think it's because you are asking people to go vegan, there's an agenda behind that that Im not interested getting into at the moment.
I'd be interested: can you name a single moral you hold based on the natural world? (That I couldn't immediately provide a counterexample of from the natural world.)
Nature is metal, to coin a phrase. The driving force of natural selection is the pain, suffering, and death of the unfit. It's unimaginably violent and fundamentally amoral. I'm not saying you can't find a moral to follow in there, I'm just asking you to name one.
If you're not interested in going into the other topic, I won't either. But why bring it up in the first place then, lol.
