I was saying the other day how I want to become a vegetarian. Because I saw this....Those eyes.I also know, if I become a vegetarian, that won't stop the horror show and their death will be in vain, but not really.With or without me in this world this horror show will carry on, while me quitting meat won't save any of them.
Damn. Yeah, I was vegetarian from 5 to 16. I do think it may help in that at least you're not participating. I don't see the global balance shift anytime soon though, but it's a bit like saying "I'm ok with owning slaves because while I agree it's really bad I can't stop slavery anyway."
The Fallacy would be animal abuse and fighting a chimp could get deadly. A chimp has the strength of 2 men. That's 2 men okay ? If 2 men really try they can flip a car.
I don't think this is it.
Fighting a man can get deadly, too. Is it really animal abuse if the chimpanzee says he/she wants to do it? Is it human abuse if the human says they want to do it? I don't think so.
What about if we had some freak of nature as a human who had some over-developed muscles thanks to genetics that allowed them to absolutely dominate in MMA. Would it be OK to allow that guy to compete? Most of the top MMA people are genetically incredibly gifted, and no amount of training will allow the regular joe to compete with them. I'd still allow those freaks of nature compete.
I think it's just about where we set the bar. A chimpanzee needs to understand the rules of MMA though, no biting balls and blinding people (in this sense, women may get an edge in MMA). That part may be difficult?
At any rate, I seem to be driven towards the frustrating logical conclusion that, in my world view, it is fine for chimpanzees to massacre humans in MMA.
