>animals are the same as human beings
I see where you're coming from, but the central conceit of your argument is wrong. I don't even think that all humans are at a baseline of equal value.
Dont you think its funny how hypocritical these "robots" are who eat meat...

>I unironically believe that non-human animals are non sentient and cannot feel/experience pain
>believing that chimps arent sentient
well you are unironically a retard who denies the overwhelming majority of science that says that animals are sentient

whats the specific difference between animals and humans that makes it okay for us to enslave and kill animals for our pleasure, but not with humans?

>dont want to die
Name ONE life form which actually does want to die (inb4 suicidal humans lmao)
Literally the point of life is to survive and reproduce and to sustain yourself you have to consume energy usually in the form of other life forms, some of which are better at keeping themselves alive and safe than others.
Jayden Smith
Why do you talk to people instead of animals? You dont seem to understand the difference

They are sapient though. And science supports moderate consumption of meat and humane killing. Life in the wild is worse than life on a quality farm.

ehh I don't really give a shit, animals don't feel pain and are not self conscious.

>I think their bodies and brains exist and they can sense pain as well as everything else but there is no "soul"
wtf even is a "soul"? they are sentient and conscious, and the scientific condenses is overwhelmingly in agreement
>I do believe humans are the only sentient animals capable of true consciousness and every other animal is not truly conscious but is instead an extremely complex 'machine' which is much like us but incapable of actual consciousness
what even is a human?
>are whites human?
>are blacks human?
>are chimpanzees human?
>are the extinct evolutionary link between black african tribes and chimpanzees human?
where do you even draw the line as to whats human and not? its so fucking arbitrary. richard dawkings makes a great point about this

>look it up, animals don't ask questions
well, animals cannot use language to ask questions, but they do use their voice as language to communicate with eachother and express ideas, feelings, and talk about the weather and food
>Not to mention nature itself is built around the whole idea of survival of the fittest
does that morally justify rape, genocide and enslavement of weaker races because we are stronger than them? are you saying might is right?
would you be okay with a superior alien species invading earth and enslaving humans because they are stronger?
