Caring about individual animals and caring about species are two very different things. The continuation of the species for domesticated animals is exactly what I as a vegetarian want to prevent. I am not certain whether or not the lives of wild animals are worth living, but if I find that they are not, I hope to stop the continuation of those species as well.
We seem to have very different goals, which is fine. But, out of curiosity - why do you wish to prevent the existence of domesticated animals? Is it a terminal goal, or is it in service of something else?
I want to prevent the suffering of domesticated animals. The simplest way is to prevent their existence.
Any reason this argument won't apply to certain subsets of humans?
I'm in favor of Euthanasia. I'm also in favor of not having kids if you know you have some kind of genetic problem. I am against Euthanasia without consent, but that's more for political reasons. People don't take it well if you decide if their life is worth living, and the associated problems are not worth the benefit of them not living in pain. Is there any particular example you have in mind?
"Euthanasia without consent" -- is that what is more commonly known as "murder"?
Yes, I would imagine they don't...
