[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)

Outside the "food for survival" aspect (which I won't touch on because everyone else already has)...Rape vs Murder is essentially the topic here.

I'm in the camp that murder (as in intentional cold blooded murder) is comparatively worse. Culturally, I think the overwhelming majority of people disagree.

I think there are people out there that would much rather be around someone who has killed in cold blood. I think there are far more people willing to accept that a former murderer has reformed. There is a certain degree of sanctity people give sex that they don't even give life itself.

Both are extraordinarily heinous crimes and i am in no way defending either.
