What baffles me is that you are complaining about people lacking trust , and yet the very reason many people carry is because they don ' t trust others or someone specifically not to hurt them . If someone I barely know is carrying , either I don ' t get in the car with them , or I will carry too , and preferably sit in the back seat where I have the advantage . <| sep |> The line is that they don ' t have the potential or desire to be more than what they are . To clarify , let ' s think about what would make us definitely stop eating pigs . I would stop eating pigs if 1 . Pigs started committing suicide as if to make a statement that they would rather die than continue their miserable existence in some farm . 2 . Pigs started poisoning themselves to sabotage the meat as a big middle finger to humans . 3 . After seeing a fellow pig get slaughtered , they attack the butcher . These all communicate very clearly that they resent being eaten , and how they won ' t just let it happen . But the pigs we have only communicate consent through their inaction . Inaction . Inability to rebel . I believe that ' s the line . And it ' s obviously unfair to pigs because these are human standards . But should we lower ourselves to pig standards and live like they do ? So is it natural to eat those weaker and meeker than you ? Yes . Is it moral ? No . And having that morality is proof that humans have potential and desire to be more than how they are designed . That ' s why we don ' t eat each other and collectively shun or hunt down those who don ' t understand this through law and power of state . What do you think ? Still incomplete ?
