    why not kick that dog?

    again, kant discourages cruelty as a practice toward non-human animals, as it may lead to practicing cruelty toward people. that’s it. it’s not including them in our morality.

        practicing cruelty is bad, but animal agriculture is not cruelty in and of itself. if a particular operation is acting cruelly, they should be admonished.

          I would argue that animal agriculture is cruelty in and of itself. It’s forcing animals into small cages, forcibly impregnating them, stealing their babies, cutting off their tails, and then painfully murdering them. It’s a cruel operation

              I can’t make you see the cruelty. That’s something that every person needs to see on their own.

                  And that’s not something I’ll be able to change your mind on. You can watch some documentaries such as Dominion if you are interested. Just be warned, it’s of course very violent (as animal agriculture inherently is)

                    I’ve seen dominion. it’s propaganda designed to inflict trauma, not a a sober analysis of humanitarian slaughter laws and practices.
