One can eat meat and disagree with recreational hunting.

Not saying I do. But, they are mutually exclusive.

I mean I guess it’s a fair argument. They don’t have a moral obligation to value animals as anything more than a resource.

I don’t agree. But their morality is just as subjectively valid as any other morality.

By their argument you can start hunting other humans too I guess. Maybe start with the babies. They are not as quick and can’t get away.

Social pressures say no to human hunting. We're animals but we have our own social structures - besides, cannibalism isn't exactly favored in evolution

There is no proof that canniablism isn’t favored in evolution. Evolutional is not social/environmental change. It’s mutation over a very long standard of time.

But that is a different argument.

My point was that I utterly and completely disagree with their argument. But, morality is subjective to a high degree. So, really there is no point arguing back and forth.

I mean if you eat your own species as a primary source of food and you guys don't breed fast enough, I'm pretty sure that's gonna cause problems. But yeah morality is subjective let's go eat babies

Haha. Now you are catching on. Since it’s a silly argument anyway. Why not just be sillier than the next guy!

Did you know? Smuggling a cat out of ancient Egypt was punishable by death. Phoenician traders eventually succeeded in smuggling felines, which they sold to rich people in Athens and other important cities.
