Hypothetical: Aliens reveal themselves tomorrow and are vastly more intelligent and technologically superior. What is the moral argument against enslaving humanity and making use of us like we do animals.
I am not sure if there are many vegans on here but for those of you who eat animal products, do you have a good argument that would justify our treatment of animals but would not apply to aliens farming us?
Here's a couple arguments to get you started:
1. *We are more intelligent than animals!* This is a might makes right argument. The aliens would say the same. 2. *You have technology such that you don't need to do this to us!* We also, in most cases, do not need to do this to animals. We do it for taste, culture, and preference. Aliens may really like how we taste.
We're putting together a diplomatic team to make our case against factory farmed humans. Give me your best answer!
