Nope
Fair. I'd be curious how you square that with the idea that "a life is a life"?
I don't mean that in an accusatory way. It just seems like an inherent contradictions to me.
And to be clear, not that you'd save your cat over a stranger or enemy. Like, I know people who would save inanimate objects before either because the emotional connection is that strong
I mean more in the abstract that human and animal life are of equal value.
Like, would you support the farming of people to sell their meat at the grocery store? I'd assume not, but then it feels like a contradiction to me, and I'd be genuinely interested to hear how you square that circle.
