Why is it inherently unethical to kill and eat animals? Let’s say I raise some free range chickens on my land, consume their eggs and occasionally eat one. Why is this unethical?
I’d argue it’s unethical to kill animals inhumanely or to force them to live so long they suffer like we do with many pets
Most people imagine only female chickens which means the male chicks are killed soon after birth which is unethical
Chickens eat their non fertilized eggs to recoup the nutrients it takes to lay them so stealing them has negative consequences for their health (eg fragile bones) causing which is unethical
The idea itself that you can take something from someone else just because you are stronger or smarter and they can’t stop you is the mindset of an oppressor or a bully and is inherently unethical

The animals are also guilty of #3 , but two wrongs don’t make a right
Exactly, I do just this with my dogs and these fucking militant vegans always be on my case.
Amen 🙏🙏
