Humans are considered higher species because of our innate ability to decipher right from wrong, therefore some consider that enough of a plausible argument for the consumption of animals. Nonetheless, if the possession of an adequate conscience [assuming that conscience is, in its simplest sense, the ability to determine right from wrong] makes you human, what accounts for sociopaths? If these people, however human they may seem, lack a conscience, then do they become merely animals? Is their humanity stripped of them and instead they are simply wolves in sheep’s clothing? An animal with smooth skin and more advanced skills, but an animal nonetheless. Point being that if one is consuming animals, with no concrete concern for their suffrage because of the animal’s lack of moral reasoning, where does the cannibalism fall? When will the day come when we’re chopping up the Jeffrey Dahmers for our stew, Ted Bundy becomes a midnight snack, and people start downing a few una-bombers for desert?
There's a love coming to us all.
