I think most people would agree they feel it is wrong to inflect unnecessary suffering. So then one would assume that to cause unnecessary suffering and torment for pleasure, amusement, and or convince, can’t be sufficient justification for imposing such pain. Yet so many do this every day, maybe without realizing it mind you. I did until recently, by eating meat. Which by the way is defined as cut up pieces of the once living. Other words with similar meanings are, flesh, corps, carcass, dismembered body parts etc. people who chose to eat meat are basically saying ‘unnecessary pain is wrong, but its ok if it brings me pleasure.” Some may argue that eating meat isn’t unnecessary, yet there is no reliable source that states eating animals is a necessary part of a human diet. Our own government wont even maintain that you need to eat meat to lead an optimally healthy lifestyle. In fact they’ve agreed that the more animal products consumed the more danger you add to your health. Therefore the best justification we have for killing 10 billion land animals a year is because, ‘they taste good”.
