Meat Morality and Human/Animal/Alien Rights

None. What they'd be doing wouldn't be morally wrong if what we're doing isn't. Lions eat dear, people eat cows... Aliens eat people.

And the deer doesn't just lay down and let the lion eat it, either. I think we do treat more sentient animals more morally. And the cute ones too You know of dolphin-safe tuna, right? What's up with that?Sure, there's exceptions and some people do terrible things. But in general I think there's a trend between level of sentience and how we treat them. I don't think many of them are that conscious that we're being very immoral. Who gets it the worst? Cows and pigs and chickens? Do they have any clue what's going on? Can they even consider an alternative? And how bad are the collective "we" really treating them?ABE: I wondered where you've been. Congradulations!Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

That's because they're ugly and delicious. Perhaps, but it depends on the aliens. If they're blind and dumb and only perceive and communicate through telekinesis, or something, then we might be below the threshold of being sentient enough to have an appreciable morality to warrant not eating. Yeah, I think you have a valid point here with this thread.If we want to say that aliens eating us is immoral, then we should acknowledge that we treat animals immorally too. I bet. I'm not ready for kids yet.
