[Ethics] Why do people condemn Zoophilia on the basis of other animal's inability to consent but those same people kill animals without asking for their consent? Why such inconsistency? (lemmy.world)

Exactly.

When we accept humans killing animals. We should also accept humans copulating with animals. In both cases, we are neglecting animal's consent and perspective. It's logically consistent.
If we value Animal's perspective and concent then both Killing and Raping of animals by the humans should be abolished. Another consistent argument.

Only if you don't understand the many differences between fucking and eating?

From Animal's perspective, They are either getting Murdered or Raped without consenting for either. It would not be fair for the victim if we give verdict based on criminal's perspective.

Look up the definition of murder and rape and tell me where it says animal. Last I checked it says person or people.
