@moomin @WandererUber @Kirino @WashedOutGundamPilot And I want to add something here: life has intrinsic value. I believe that. It's why months back when there was a debate ocer "the ethics of TND", I took a hard stance against it and advocated for all Christians to do the same. The intrinsic value of human life is greater than that of the animal or plant. While I am strongly against animal cruelty and factory farming, I do not believe breeding animals to be more suitable for our benefit is ethically wrong even if it is questionable. We certainly skirt the line with chickens too heavy to stand up due to their enlarged breasts, but that is a separate issue more related to industrialized factory farming than pure functional husbandry.
