    You are saying that humans killing animal for their benefits is right. Then you should also appreciate humans having sex with other animals. Because in both cases we are neglecting the Animal’s consent in its entirely. As we are far more intelligent and strong, we should do whatever we please (Killing or Raping) with other animals. It’s logically consistent.

      If by benefit you mean survival, then yes. Fucking animals is not what humans evolved to do for survival.

        If Killing is considered right then Raping should be right because both persons are getting away with doing wrong to “innocent victims”. Here, Killer should not be judgmental of Rapist’s actions because Killing is a far bigger crime.

          I was talking about food, not rape and murder. I never said killing is right in general. Stop with the straw men.

            • We are gaining the meat by killing innocent animals.
            • We are gaining pleasure by raping innocent animals.

            How are you not able to see the similar patterns within these systemic injustices against innocents?

                • Interspecific sex is a common occurrence within nature and this behavior is also present in humans (zoophilia). As animals can’t consent. So any sexual activity becomes a Rape.

                Again the point was similarities in non-consensual killing and raping. Don’t you think that killing and raping are both great injustices against innocent animals? If we think killing is ok then Raping also becomes ok as it’s a smaller crime than killing.

                  Killing an animal for food is nothing like rape. Rape is unnecessary and not required for sustenance or reproduction, it’s not something our species evolved to do (the fact that something can be done doesn’t mean we evolved to do it, ducks on the other hand…). Are you equivocating most of the world’s population for all of history with rapists? Is your mom and dad a rapist then? Are lions rapists, just not smart enough to know they’re raping gazelles and zebras?

                  If you think animals killing and eating other animals is rape, then I hope you’re a blade of grass because even vegans would be unintentionally raping animals in pursuit of sustenance. Don’t kid yourself that a vegan diet is free of suffering, you just care less about those species apparently.

                    • Clarifying; “Animals can’t consent thus any sexual activity becomes rape” is related to Animal-Human copulation. As zoophilia was mentioned in previous sentence.

                    From animals’ perspective, Non-consensual killing is worst than Non-consensual sex (Rape). Their similarities lies in the negation of consent by the humans and both actions are unjust. Humans are just giving out disingenuous arguments to hide their crime of killing innocent animals because they benefit from such injustices.
