you know, i think you pose an interesting noral dilemma facing life itself and its rights over the world.
I admit my own speciesism and have never been vegan for the moral argument. So i guess, yes, just as owning a plant, a mushroom or a tardigrade, conditions mean everything.
im expecting a human slavery gotcha, but i think that wpuld be a dumb argument to make. But i guess if i have to, let me just say, i think ‘intelligence’ is definitely a factor in ‘ability to be owned’ if that makes sense.
pls continue the discussion in good faith tho! i like societal introspection and moral questionings.
/s ?
