Of course not. But nobody has evidence that cows think or have emotions beyond physical sensations either.

You are what you eat. Cows eat grass. Cows are machines that convert grass into more cows. Cows are essentially converted grass. Thus, if it’s ok to eat grass, it’s ok to eat cows. Checkmate.

Not sure I’m getting your point, but meat tastes better than lettuce.

So you believe plants or fungi don’t suffer when you eat them?

So it must be right?

No, quite the opposite. If people didn’t eat meat then people wouldn’t herd cattle, so most cows wouldn’t ever exist. What is worse, living and then dying, or not living at all? We’re doing the animals a favour by raising them, feeding them, caring for them. A favour which they repay by allowing us to eat them. Anything else would be morally wrong. Now excuse me, my steak is ready.

Don’t.

Besides for fun you mean? No.
