Philosophy is based on logic, not straight emotions

Yeah, sorry, but that's straight untrue.

As I wrote before, every time you're doing a value judgement, you're arguing based on emotions.

Saying shredding two animals causes more suffering than shredding no animals is a rational, provable statement. But whether suffering is bad or not, is a value judgement and thus not rational.

If you say, “I don’t like suffering” to someone with a “no pain, no gain” shirt, your argument is weaker.

And both of these statements are value judgement, you're doing a category error here.
