Quoted By:
I have no problem eating meat, since animals are not members of my tribe, they can’t participate in human society, they can’t reproduce and carry on human society, and most importantly they are most useful to me as meat. With dogs, they are most useful to humans alive, for their companionship and utility. Some other animals can be domesticated to be nice, but not social like dogs. Likewise, horses are most useful to humans alive, although their utility depends on their health, unlike dogs.
I think most people who think that farm animals are companions are actually just childless women who are misapplying their maternal impulses and misidentifying animals as actual members of their family. That childlessness can lead to mental illness and eating disorders is just a testament of how important it is for women to have babies quickly, like at age 20 before their loneliness fucks their brains up this badly.
