I&#x27;m not the person you responded to, but I found it interesting that you and I both hold positions of moral objectivity, yet you say we can&#x27;t use animals for food, and I say it&#x27;s perfectly moral, or even amoral. The funny thing is, though, we can&#x27;t go much further than this in discussing it. You&#x27;re most likely citing science and evidence of similarities and differences (or the lack thereof) between the cognitive capabilities of animals and humans, which I have to reject as taking too much liberty in order to draw such conclusions. And I&#x27;m citing the foundations of reality laid down very firmly by my religion, which undoubtedly you can&#x27;t help but reject along with my conclusions. So we&#x27;re at an impasse.
