If person X's ideas aren't mainstream, is X more likely to lie about his opinions?

I'd say yes, due to fear of shaming/persecution/exile/etc.

IF true, should this problem be corrected? Should people with "extreme" opinions feel more comfortable voicing these opinions?

"there's no trait in animals that if true in humans would make it okay to murder humans."

Givin the chance, animals eat other animals. If I had to worry about a chance of someone eating someone else I think it would be ok to murder that person.

Your trait works if someone is attacking you. Self-defense. If an animal was attacking you, then kill the animal.

But cows, chickens, and pigs aren't attacking you

No, but they will eat each other, so why shouldn't I eat them?

Because morality isn't based on the actions of animals.

Many animals practice infanticide, is infanticide moral?
