What the 'Meat Paradox' Reveals About Moral Decision Making

[Towlie]

7. "Humans evolved as super-predators who were meant to eat meat."

Meant by whom? It's hard to reconcile an acceptance of evolution (science) with the proposition that we were "meant" to be what we are by some entity (religion).

We kill animals for a lot of other reasons beside food, and searching for moral justification is basically a waste of time. There's no satisfactory criterion that you can adopt to decide that one animal has the right to live while another one does not.

P.S. - I thought it was funny to hear that because meat processing plants couldn't process pork due to the coronavirus, many pigs had to be "euthanized."
