The IncessantOne at DI just latched on to this thread I posted over there. I can never make any point that he will directly address, and he just keeps spewing more rhetoric. I will have to restrict my responses toward him to a single statement and resist the bait he dangles in front of my face.
I am posting the following so things can stay on track here, unlike over there.
I suppose I must now post about what ethics and morals can be applied, but with moral relativity and other postmodern pitfalls, it seems so useless when there is no objective reality involved.
The main concern here seems to be that certain human activities are creating an overpopulation and overcrowding situation of animals that has no redeeming value and is damaging to the environment. It is also being thought that such an imbalance is unnatural or in opposition to nature's normal balancing act. Be all this as it may be, none of that addresses the morality of the proposed idea. You can prove beyond a doubt that these are valid concerns, but that could never justify what has been proposed.
Just change the laws like they did here like requiring laying hens to be free range only and outlaw the industrial farming practices. That is the moral way to handle this, that is really my point with posting this thread.
