Are you really going to turn to Travis the chimpanzee for your moral compass?
Are you saying that sober apes are known for being good role models?
So basically, because orangutans are "pretty chill", and they can catch and eat fish without it causing them any apparent moral distress, it's OK for human beings to eat fish, too...? Isn't that sort of circular reasoning? And why should orangutans' conception of morality have any impact on humans', anyway?
In any case, my own stance is that the idea that some people deserve suffering and "that's just the way it is", necessitates equating those people with animals — often explicitly — and the indoctrination that animals are a category of creature deserving of violence and subjugation, starts on a child's plate.
I keep being tempted to reply but at this point it's clear you're just a tedious sophist and I'm just wasting my time and driving myself to misery with this nonsense.
