      Humans are part of nature too, and we have our animal instincts same as any other animal. Only thing that differs is our capacity to self-reflect and exercise agency over our place in the ecosystem. What matters is that we have respect for life and don’t take it for granted. I agree that factory farms, hunting for sport or luxury goods like furs, etc. is wrong, but I don’t see a problem with a small farm raising some animals as long as they’re treated with respect and given a comfortable life. All animals - including us - are dependent on others for survival.

      I mean you grew up believing that it’s healthier to eat meat rather than just more profitable to sell it

      Seriously I’ve read this about 10 times and I still have no idea what you’re going on about. It’s healthier to eat meat than sell it, what?

      it is morally defensible in any way to create an intelligent creature

      What absolute grammar hellhole is this? What animal are you thinking of?
