It is a barbaric practice but, if we're being totally honest, it's just one of a whole heap of things we put on the morality back-burner in order to live a normal day to day life  . We exploit animals, we exploit less fortunate humans, we exploit the planet itself. And we are ourselves exploited. But it's how our race now functions from the ground up and doing anything different would be a radical departure from everything we consider to be "a normal life", and it would also be impossible in practical terms, because of how far along we are now. I think I said in another thread recently... Any chance the human race had to go in a different direction ended in the early 1800's with the industrial revolution. The only choices now are to accept / ignore the overall ****show and live happily day to day... Or attempt to fight against it but inevitably fail. I personally just don't have the energy for grand idealism on top of the day to day stuff, so... I'm going to keep eating piggies . |
Yeah you're dead right. I think probably living in smaller self run communities or tribes would be the best way for humans to live but we'd still probably end up exploiting eachother
