If we resist “might makes right” ethics and epistemology when used against human sentients, let’s also resist it when used against non-human sentients.

Religion and non-religion both lead to the same conclusion -- if God made them sentient, we shouldn't harm them. If this world is all there is and they just happened by some extraordinary combination of circumstances to become sentient, we shouldn't harm them!!

So many, otherwise great, thinkers destroy their own credibility by talking about their views on non-human animal ethics.
Others destroy their credibility by never talking about it at all.

In a world of people who cared consistently about non-human animals, vegans wouldn’t be seen as heroes or role models. They’d just be seen as normal.

I find it oddly dissonant when pro philosophers / public intellectuals talk about vegetarianism as a moral response to the horrors of animal exploitation.
I think they mean veganism, but they seem to have “vegetarian” as a strong language default.
What’s going on here?

Just as, while we need to eat and drink, we don’t need to eat or drink animal products.
