Probably a part of it. Working with the typical ages at which they are each killed, a cow killed for beef produces around 100kg meat per year, whereas a cow killed for milk produces both 300kg of milk solids per year and 25kg of meat per year.
We have billions of captive animals that will be forcibly impregnated every year in order to replace those thag are killed, and even under the most "humane" conditions will still be killed at a fraction of their natural lifespan, yet you consider cutting out the forced impregnation part in order to end the cycle of violence to be "genocide"?
You don't think that label might be more appropriately applied to the systematic killing of billions every yeat which will happen in perpetuity until we end animal agriculture?
Boot into your bios and check the sata mode. A number of machines that I work with(acer predators most notoriously) will for no discernable reason switch from achi mode to rst optane, resulting in no drive being accessible to the os. Switching back to ahci resolves it.
I've done it before. Granted it was one of the first times I'd driven an auto, but the reflex to engage the clutch for rolling to a stop, combined with the extra wide brake pedal can be a real gotcha.
I agree with you somewhat, but I think in the case of body parts, which require the death of a person to procure, the risk of encouraging such bad actors is significant enough that we ought not to enable any market at all except where lives may be saved by their procurement.
I would consider trophies derived from human bodies to be immoral in the same way that child pornography is. The act of transmitting a digital file does not directly cause harm to anyone, but by creating a demand for it, you are in turn driving an industry that violates the rights of people in order to keep supplying it.
For many years after western contact with Aotearoa, people were deliberately killed for the sake of producing preserved heads which would be purchased by collectors in Europe.
If there were to be a resurgence in demand for such objects, there is no shortage of people either desperate enough or cruel enough to revive the practice of killing people to produce them.
Sure, there could be systems put in place to verify that a head was procured humanely after natural death, but it would never be foolproof, and there would always be some degree of black market causing harm on the fringes in order to meet demand.
We already know that people are killed in order to feed the black market for transplantable organs, so why would we allow an industry with all of the same risks to exist purely for the sake of art?
My daughter is a very different skin colour than me. Somehow the worst I've encountered to date is an uppity mother who thought I was telling off a random child.
This is something I've never understood. Surely it is a compliment rather than an insult to effectively say "your partner is very attractive"
