What do you think of these statements, orlanda?

I do think that there are morally relevant differences between various species, because the cognitive capacities of beings are relevant to, for example, the wrongness of killing them. I think it is worse to kill a self-aware being, that is, a being who is aware of its own existence over time, and is able to have desires for the future, than a being who may be conscious, but is not self-aware and lives in a kind of eternal present.

and

It’s pretty difficult to be a conscientious omnivore and avoid all the ethical problems, but if you really were thorough-going in eating only animals that had had good lives, that could be a defensible ethical position.

Do you think it is possible to be a "conscientious omnivore"?

Man.....who is this Orlanda clown and what planet is he on...... doesn't sound like earth to me.

Unfortunately its a shame that people like him have lost their links to the land and in turn lost all links to reality. Does he not understand that the reason he's on this earth is because mankind has been killing and eating animals since adam (caveman adam) new how to chuck a rock.

Where's the smiley that bangs his head against the brick wall when you need him.
