Simple question: Is a lion justified because they eat other animals to survive? Answer YES: If we would be dominated by stronger cyvilization and we would be used as thier food would it be justified? Answer NO: Do u feel guilty eating animals and plants? @edit Refering to anime was stupid idea edited poll @edit2 Bonus question: It's year 2020 on sky apear thousands of saucers new cyvilization from space tell humanity that they must take few thousand of ppl and breed them to use as thier food cause they must eat food with higher iq than animal iq. Would u accept it even if someone would be close to you or would you rather sacryfice yourself for humanity and fight agnist occupant? |

Attempting to apply morality across species isn't a good idea. Lions and humans operate on different systems of right and wrong. So I cannot say if a lion has a right to kill from a human standpoint, because a lion is not a human. If a lion was attempting to kill a human, I wouldn't say the lion has a right to kill, or a demand not to kill. Shiki asked a similar question. I don't feel bad about eating animals or plants, but sometimes chewing steak make me feel sick. |

The only time when it's okay to kill imo is in self defense (usually happens accidentally) or when defending someone (who's life is in direct danger, and you harm the attacker) Of course a lion is justified for killing other animals for food. It's how nature works. We kill other animals for food too. |

Lions are just doing what they normally do in nature Humans do it too; thus, why should someone think the lion is "in the wrong" here? This is just nature and food chains/webs at work. |

I don't feel guilty but at the same time I wouldn't let some aliens kill me and east me because I want to live. Just as I expect the pig to fight the futile fight against it's own demise, so I would try and avoid being eaten. |

Krunchy said: Is a lion justified because they eat other animals to survive? That's a strange question. It's pretty much the same as asking whether a lion is justified to exist as it is. Lions are carnivores, they don't need justification to eat other animals as it's part of what they are. Krunchy said: Do u feel guilty eating animals and plants? Eating meat is pleasurable. I eat meat because I can and I feel no guilt over consuming other animals. What I would feel guilty about is eating meat from animals that might have been raised in horrid conditions. Our ethical duty lies in ensuring that the animals we eat are raised in decent conditions and cared for properly. And plants? You might as well ask us whether we feel guilty about eating altogether. Krunchy said: It's year 2020 on sky apear thousands of saucers new cyvilization from space tell humanity that they must take few thousand of ppl and breed them to use as thier food cause they must eat food with higher iq than animal iq. Would u accept it even if someone would be close to you or would you rather sacryfice yourself for humanity and fight agnist occupant? It's not morally wrong, but that doesn't mean you just have to accept to be eaten. Humanity should fight back if such a thing happens. It's not as if animals that are consumed by predators in the wild just submit to their fate without putting up a fight. But let's just hope aliens wouldn't be into meat as much as we are, and in the case it turns out they are, we could try acting cute so they'd think we're too adorable to eat, like puppies do (although that's proven useless against some people). |

Justification depends heavily on the person, and it's not really needed. You could say justification isn't justified in any case. |

ye m8 lions rather live lol.. food cycle crap wuteva dat guy said^ Chimera Ants die with a BANG! one piece: once there was a kingdom on the moon that had advance science technology and its name was beerka. the people of beerka could make robots and dials (the things that they use in skypia). however, they migrate to the blue planet because they ran out of resources. (the blue planet is earth, and if you see the comic cuts with enel in it when he goes to the moon (check out the manga tab on this website), you can see writings that say people of beerka migrated to the blue planet because of lack of resources.) the ship schematic that the people of beerka used to migrate is probably the one that tom (franky's dad) had. when the people from the moon (beerka) came down to earth, they accepted everyone to join and use their technology in peace and soon developed into a huge kingdom. however, a secret organization wanted to take the power and authority of the beerka for themselves and started a war. so the beerka developed two weapons to win the war. the weapons are named the pluton and poseidon. pluton runs underneath the ocean floor to change the tides of the sea to make a shied against enemy ships. later on traces of pluton's drilling underground builds up due to undersea volcano eruptions and becomes the "red line". furthermore, the calm belt and the grand line are formed which divided the ocean into four. poseidon is a cannon made from fairy bass (sand from the moon). the sand from the moon has a tendency of coagulating sea water and the solid form of sea water made from the moon sand was used as the cannon ball. later on, the cannon balls that were used during the war sank into the ocean floor and became ores called sea stones (the stones that devil fruit users are weak against). even with these extraordinary weapons, the people from the moon lose the war after 100 years of fighting. they conceal the two weapons (pluton and poseidon) so the secret organization cant use it for themselves. the survivors of the people of the moon hide away from the secret organization and take the shape of the half moon D to use as their middle name. (this explains monkey D luffy, portgas D ace, gol D roger and so on) the secret organization that betrayed and destroyed the people of the moon name themselves "world government" and started a project to hide their wrongdoings. 1. they erase the 100 years of history of the war. (the 100 years of history (the void century) that robin wants to find) 2. they send 20 soldiers to the moon to erase any trace or evidence of the people of the moon. (the 20 soldiers that were sent to the moon are later called world nobles and their offspring are treated like kings. this also explains why world nobles always wear space suits.) the survivors of the people of the moon make a small island called raftel so that the secret organization cant find them. one piece is in this island and gol d roger was the only person to find the island. the reason that luffy, ace, roger, and blackbeard are not on the island even when they're all D's is because the people of the moon wanted the world to know the evil deeds done by the government. they made poneglyphs (bits and parts of the 100 years of history) and placed it all around the world and sent out a selected number of their own people (D's) to find it and let the world know the truth. the beerka's (people of the moon) make one final secret weapon while they are on the island of raftel. this weapon's ability is to take the four seperate seas that were divided by pluton, and turn it back in to one huge ocean (AKA ALL BLUE (the ocean sanji always dreams of). because of its ability to turn four sea's in to one, the weapon is called "one piece". of course dunno if thats real or not^ |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Applying ethics to animals... I don't think it works that way, moral questions only have a meaning if free will is involved. Yeah this is a pretty easy question. Reminded me of the example my philosopher professor gave us in class: "What happens when a lion kills a person? Can we say that it's wrong (or not justified) for the lion to kill the person?" No because lions don't have the concept of right or wrong, it can't rationalize. And in order to have a concept of right or wrong, it needs to have a self-conscious. |

For those aliens it's probably not something strange to eat us, humans. However, it does not mean that we won't fight back. That and also morality is human concept, it does not applies to anything beyond our species. Take another example that is debated by scientists about the prospect of terraforming Mars. Since there is no solid evidence yet about life on Mars, some scientist argues that we should attempt to terraform it as a 'second Earth'. However some scientist also argues that there is a small probability that Mars might have a primitive lifeform (ex. Bacteria, Virus, or simple organism) yet to be discovered. If we terraform Mars we might killed these organism and cause a planetary extinction. Is it a right thing to do for us to terraform Mars? |

"Is a lion justified because they eat other animals to survive?" This is a weird formulated question. "Justified?". You can ask that how much you want, but the lion will not, not kill. It will eat in order to stay alive. Justified? No. Necessary? Yes. If we would be dominated by stronger cyvilization and we would be used as thier food would it be justified? Still wouldn't make it what the definition of "justified" means, but we'd have no choice. Just as I (and a lot of other people) don't care about what type of meat they put in their mouths, so wouldn't a superior being. It's necessary in order to stay alive. |

Well, some people are still clinging on preserving it in it's natural state instead to use Mars entirely for human advancement. I am entirely in for the colonization, as it will open up lots of alternative possibilities for our future technology. However, studying Mars lifeforms (if they exist) might broaden our horizon and understanding regarding one of the biggest mystery of life, of how it was started, and how it evolved to its environment. Although we can say, colonization of mars would have more concern to our future rather than our past. |

It's okay for a lion to kill another animal, yes. Why? The lion has to survive. In order to survive, the lion must eat. (unless it's trying to become a model or something) Humans kill animals in order to eat, too. Is it okay? Yes. Why? We have to survive. In order for us to survive, we must eat. (unless we're trying to become models or something) Will it be wrong to kill other humans for a food source? I won't say whether it's wrong or right, it's just strange. We have so many other food sources. It's also strange because the two will be the same group. Imagine a lion killing a lion for a food source. You'd look at the lion like it's cray.

The aliens are obviously more advanced in this case. If there was an alliance (like the military for example) that's working on to counter attack them, then yes I would join. |
