Default OT: Eating sentient beings?

New UK law:

"During a visit to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, the Environment Secretary said that the Government would take a significant step forwards on animal welfare by formally recognising animals as sentient beings through a new Animal Sentience Bill that will be introduced to Parliament tomorrow (13 May), putting animal welfare at the very heart of government policy decision making."

If animals are to be recognised as sentient beings, shouldn't that mean everyone must become vegetarian?

Only if there's a law against eating sentient beings. I don't think
there's even a law against eating humans, thought there might be one
against improper use of a human body. (I'm not sure how that works;
don't some hippy types fry up their children's afterbirths and eat them?)

Default Eating sentient beings?

Who knows but try explaining that to a person starving somewhere when there
are plentiful animals around and you have a gun.
I also look at nature and do not see quite highly intelligent big cats
having debates at becoming vegetarian to save the sentient antelope.
All life is to some extent sentient after all. The biggest reason for not
using animals as food by breeding them is the greenhouse effect it can
cause from all that farting.

If they are sentient, not really. If they are sapient, then yes. That is

Exactly. Or they appear to care so much when Israeli children are killed
but say nothing when hundreds of Palestinian children die. Hypocrisy in

It beats the **** outta me how they can handle the constant cognitive
dissonance.

Quite so. But some care may be needed to remove all risk of charges of
outraging public decency or preventing a lawful burial. DIY (i.e.
autocannibalism) is a safer option - absent a mental health assessment

The point is, you'd get done if you killed a person for the purposes of eating. Eating animals that are now declared sentient, you have to kill them first. If this law was used correctly, it would require us to only eat animals that died of natural causes.

The point is, you'd get done if you killed a person for the purposes of

But its less clear what the law would say if someone chose
to kill themselves so you could eat them. Or even what the
legal situation is if say you are marooned on a useless
boat and choose to eat those who die of starvation.

Eating animals that are now declared sentient, you have to kill them
first.


Not if you eat road kill and those that die in other ways
that have nothing to do with any action of yours.

If this law was used correctly, it would require us to only eat animals
that died of natural causes.


And road kill etc.

Ah, a legal term, as in what the word meant 50 billion years ago. To most people "sentient" means they have feelings, not just they can react to stimuli. A plant can do that.

However, since the law is talking about preventing abuse of pets, they must be talking about the modern meaning. If they declare all animals to have the status of not being abused, that should also include not being killed for food.

to have the status of not being abused, that should also include not
being killed for food.


That doesn't follow. It will be interesting to see f humane slaughter is
required.

If animals are to be recognised as sentient beings, shouldn't that mean
everyone must become vegetarian?


If they are sentient, not really. If they are sapient, then yes. That is
assuming the legal terms mean what the dictionary definition says and not
what
the more commonly used definition is.


Ah, a legal term, as in what the word meant 50 billion years ago. To most
people "sentient" means they have feelings, not just they can react to
stimuli. A plant can do that.

However, since the law is talking about preventing abuse of pets, they must
be talking about the modern meaning. If they declare all animals to have the
status of not being abused, that should also include not being killed for
food.


I am OK with raising animals for food, but think there should be stronger laws
to protect them. The conditions of our food industry for the animals -- and
the humans for that matter -- are horrible.

Hopefully good news (and there will be plenty of more of that to

That will be a first if you support animal welfare while an animal is
alive.

If it improves farm animal welfare and demand humane slaughter, to
include the stunning or bolting of animals before slaughter then that
will indeed be a step forward.


********, killing is 1 billion times worse than torture.

If animals are to be recognised as sentient beings, shouldn't that mean everyone must become vegetarian?


No, because that means we aren't recognising the sentience and so
rights of egg laying chickens or cows.


If we want children's brains to develop normally then they require a
natural balanced diet to include meat products.

I don't know much about nut allergies. There was an article some time
ago that correlated how we are slow to introduce nuts to children, for
fear of choking, and this might add to this allergy.


Since peanuts aren't technically a nut, you can eat those with a nut allergy.

Default The Two Brain Dead Inseparable Trolling Resident Sociopaths together again

On Mon, 24 May 2021 08:00:04 +1000, cantankerous trolling geezer Rodent
Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:

FLUSH the two subnormal sociopathic cretins' endless absolutely idiotic
blather

--
Another typical retarded "conversation" between the two resident idiots:

Birdbrain: "But imagine how cool it was to own slaves."

Senile Rodent: "Yeah, right. Feed them, clothe them, and fix them when
they're broken.
After all, you paid good money for them. Then you've got to keep an eye
on them all the time."

Birdbrain: "Better than having to give them wages on top of that."

Senile Rodent: "Specially when they make more slaves for you
and produce their own food and clothes."
