All it means is wanting the animals to exist. If someone wants the animals that ****wit wishes to eat to exist, then ****wit says the person has "consideration for their lives". If someone doesn't want those animals to exist, then ****wit shrieks they have "no consideration for their lives", and he berates them for not wanting the animals to exist. He might not be expressing it convincingly, but he appears to be sincere and the gist of what he is trying say is LoL that has support of several philosophers. "The Logic of the Larder""(LL): We do animals a favor by purchasing meat, eggs, and milk, for if we did not purchase these products, fewer animals would exist (Stephen, 1896). LL results from the common notion that the supply of farm animals roughly follows the demand for their products; and the less common notion that the world is made better off by having more animals in existence. Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics (2005) 18: GAVERICK MATHENY and KAI M. A. CHAN HUMAN DIETS AND ANIMAL WELFA THE ILLOGIC OF THE LARDER It can be wrong, but it does not appear to be nonsensical to me. Shall we talk about LoL point by point? -- Oxtail is not doing what he thinks he is doing here. |
