Why do you think this is the case?


I don't lol :P

I'm saying so for the sake of this argument.

...no , the only point you are making is that youthink they are equivalent .


I'd like to hear in what way they aren't, based on the reasons one has to do the actions, and the consequences of the actions.

I'm sure you can find an arbitrarily simple point at which 2 different actions are morally equivalent, like shooting someone in the head with a gun and instantly killing them, and shooting someone in the head with a different model of gun and instantly killing them.

...you made the positive claim , it is incumbent upon you to tell us why they are equivalent with something other than poor analogies .

So how does that invalidate what I say? The two actions are still morally equivalent.


They're not, because one will always involve more suffering than the other.

Since when do rules of logic apply to you?

So you're saying seeking palate pleasure and torturing animals aren't equivalent. Of course, I agree with that. I'm referring specifically to palate pleasure obtained through torturing animals.
