By this logic, is it OK to consume of there is no exploitation or suffering?
What if there’s exploitation but no suffering?
Or suffering but no exploitation, are wild animals privileged?
More of a philosophical question than anything else.
Kinda feels like there’s more to it than exploitation and suffering ya know? Almost like there’s some sort of moral imperative that needs to value life.
Fwiw I love that you gave me an actual response. And I really like this. The one point in my post I thought was strongest is the wild animal case - there is probably suffering from the victim, but there’s no exploitation, a wild animal doesn’t have any concept of that and therefore cannot be exploiting (there might be an exception but I don’t think we need to go there)
You gave a clean answer without even crossing over into what is “morally” correct which gives such a strong foundation for veganism philosophically speaking.
