Reddit reviews Can Animals Be Moral?

>… so vegans aren't going to stand in the way of that

Actually some would. Of course animals lacking moral agency (do they really?) makes some difference to the situation. Also organizing killing and exploitation on an industrial scale is fundamentally different to inter-animal predator-prey relationships. But if humans without moral agency were to present a harm to others we would typically intervene too, wouldn’t we? Thus imposing different judgements in both situations is prima facie speciesist, if it cannot be justified. And your justifications basically appeals to nature as unchangeable. which is unconvincing to me. Also is preying really always a matter of individual survival? Is it so inconceivable that not at least some of these relationships could be pacified by means of engineering? At least I’d like to see some research being done here, before giving up on wild animals’ fate as an unchangeable tragedy.
