Veganism. It's interesting to see how even seemingly very moral people throw logic out the door when the topic turns to not killing animals.

Is your belief based on an animal's capacity for consciousness? If so do you think all animals, regardless of their intelligence, deserve the right to not be eaten? Where would you draw the line?

Hi there, good question. For me there's no morals tied to the level of consciousness. That allows for cherry picking.

I apply the very simple principe "don't do to other living beings what you would not want to be done to you".
