So just because we were intelligent enough to fabricate a basic human standard and all the other animals weren't, we should deny our same basic needs just because we can?
That doesn't make much sense to me in the grand scheme of things.
If life was truly and objectively
valuable, then our 'lesser' animals wouldn't be eating meat either, by virtue of whatever higher force deemed us all
valuable to begin with.
