  • This is strawman reasoning. No vegan I’ve ever met belives that there’s no moral distinction between human and non human animals. They believe that non human and have moral worth, and that moral worth is higher than 15 minutes of taste pleasure or shoes, etc.

    The basic logic flows like this:

    • Non human animals are capable of subjective experiences, which includes the ability to suffer.
    • Exploitation of or killing of animals causes suffering.
    • It isn’t essential, under normal circumstances in modern society, to cause that suffering for our survival.
    • It isn’t morally permissible to cause unnecessary suffering.
