The goos are less AW minded than you are. At least you claim to believe SOME
animals' lives are worth giving positive consideration because you feel the
quality is good enough. The goos don't believe any livestock lives should be
given positive consideration, meaning that they can't appreciate any distinction
REGARDLESS of quality:
"IF one believes that the moral harm caused by killing
them is greater in magnitude than ANY benefit they might
derive from "decent lives"" - Goo
"NO livestock benefit from being farmed." - Goo
"No farm animals benefit from farming." - Goo
"'', then logically one MUST conclude that not raising them
in the first place is the ethically superior choice." - Goo
