In case it wasn't clear, I'm suggesting these are all lies.
I try not to be ideological. Rather than say, murder is wrong, I'd rather just say, if you do it we'll put you in a cage for 20 years - like the law. "Right and wrong", I think, must be based on authority or, be arbitrary or, be based on nature but it's hard to see morals there except, most mammals don't predate their own, do care for their offspring, do try to propagate their species.
I discriminate against elk vs humans the same way I discriminate against strangers vs my family; judge away.
Should lions be prevented from killing antelope? Are we animal mind readers that can judge that a lion isn't a "moral agent" and that that makes it okay that the antelope gets torn apart?
