Comment on Fish have heart too.

I would not find that ok, because all sentient beings are worth moral consideration, and culture is not a good reason to hurt sentient beings. I might not focus on it especially if that culture was already marginalized and discriminated against and there were bigger problems to solve, but I’d still have the understanding that it’s bad

I don’t think dog fighting is a moral issue: at worst, it’s aesthetic.

Really? What about bestiality?
commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
yea. that, too, is an aesthetic issue. it can be gross without being immoral.
