    I think it’s a perfectly valid and internally consistent moral framework to care far more about the suffering of humans than animals.

    Also, “don’t care” is a bit of an exaggeration. More like, I don’t like abusive practices and would prefer to eat humanely treated and humanely slaughtered animals. But abusive practices are also not a complete deal breaker for me. So there’s a level of care there, but it’s far below the care for humans.

    And I do think that’s a fairly normal and common moral framework, whether conscious or subconscious.

      Nobody said that you have to care about animals in the same way as you care for humans. Nobody said that they’re on the same level. You just literally said that you don’t care about their suffering, which sounds insane to anyone.

      You talk about “humane killing of animals without any necessity”. Does “humane killing” sound humane to you? Humanely treated? Why do 99% of people claim they prefer “humanely treated” animals, when appr. 99% of all animal products come from factory farming? That’s the opposite of humane. Nothing in the industry is humane. They all try to make money. I don’t have to explain to you how you do that, I assume

      It’s not a common moral framework. But we don’t have to discuss this any further. I see that you’re not really open for that discussion.
