there is no proof nonhuman animals understand personal mortality, so we can't say they have a will to live
A toddler or a mentally disabled person can’t understand morality. I wouldn’t personally kill and eat those.
comparing mental disabled people to children is insulting. comparing them to animals is fucking gross.
I did not compare them, they just have the trait you claimed was the justification for killing animals. Humans are animals and a subset of us have the trait you described. I just pointed out that is not a good justification.
I didn't try to justify it at all. I said that you are making unfounded claims.
I think you misread mortality as morality
Ah, you are right, I did. I believe the same can be said about mortality though.
you could look for literature to support your claim.
