# On The Domestication Of Animals

I don't think that killing an animal itself is inherently unethical.
But I consider the domestication totally unethical.

For example, if you kill a fly, that's fine unless you kill it for
fun. However, if you grow flies to experiment harmful chemicals, I
consider it to be unethical. Similarily, killing a frog for anatomy
is fine. But growing frogs for that reason and imposing artificial
selection is not.

Perhaps hunting and fishing animals is acceptable in general.
Paleolithic people did nothing wrong. Though if you don't want to
eat animals, that's a reasonable choice for totally different
reasons.

However, farming animals is totally wrong. Thus eating milk and
eggs is almost always wrong (unless those are taken from the wild
-- highly unlike) regardless of the animal welfare. While eating a
non-farmed fish is fine. I think that animal welfare quite misses
the point.
