I do not eat anything that recognizes itself in a mirror.
Assuming pigs were objects of value, would that make it morally wrong to eat them? Unlike octopi, most pigs exist because humans plan on eating them, so if a lot of humans stopped eating pigs, there would be less pigs, and the life of the average pig might not be much better.
(this is not a rhetorical question)
Yes. If pigs were objects of value, it would be morally wrong to eat them, and indeed the moral thing to do would be to not create them.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
