You are a vegan. You base your diet off your feelings. That leads me to believe you lead your life based off how you feel which is irrational. I'll look it up after work if I can be bothered
You keep asserting that.
My lifestyle is based on extending basic human rights to animals. There exists no trait in animals that if true in humans would make it okay to murder these humans. No trait, at least, that doesn't cut against human rights.
The flaw in your reasoning is assuming ANYONE or THING is entitled to rights. They are not. Rights are taken and held by force or the ability to apply force. There is no universal morality. So again your lifestyle is based on a flawed emotional rationalization.
I agree that we've essentially pulled the concept of "rights" out of nowhere. We created them because we want them and because they help keep society stable.
That being said, most people will agree to this social contract of human rights.
There does not need to be a universal or objective morality for the vegan argument to work.
