Not Op, but the same from me, I eat meet, I killed chickens at the farm this does not mean that I am fine for say you torturing a cat, beating a horse or killing animals for fun and not eat them. So the situation is not a 0 or 1 , you can do your medical experiment but follow the ethical rules and laws that you should.



So… then you disagree with avoiding animal suffering whenever possible. Or rather you’re fine with avoiding animal suffering whenever it doesn’t keep you from eating a chicken sandwich?

I have no problem with that attitude.

But let’s not delude ourselves. As (relatively) wealthy people in developed countries, we’re absolutely fine with people and animals suffering when it lets us have a hamburger or put an iPhone in our pockets.


Correct , I will not replace some good local meet and our 2000+ year traditions, for not a good enough reason.

I killed animals to eat them and I am not bothered by the act, it had to be done. I was raised in a farm in Romania(Easter Europe, poor country ... so your typical american stereotypes will not apply = things were different like my old grandma asking me to kill a chicken (I was maybe 10 or 12).

Andy FYI I am not rich nor using an iPhone or 1000$ phone.
