How could I agree or disagree if I have no reasoning for your position? You made the claim that veganism is amoral, that’s an uncommon and interesting position. I’m curious about your reasoning.
I disagree with your line of logic then. Something doesn’t need to be a moral duty to be moral. It’s not a moral duty for a poor person to donate to charity, but being charitable is a moral act.
Similarly, you can probably point to edge cases where the following line of logic cannot be applied broadly due to people’s circumstances.
For me personally,
Livestock animals are sentient, they display a preference to live and be free from suffering and confinement.
I do not need to purchase animal products to be healthy and happy.
In the absence of necessity, intentionally confining, harming and killing animals is not morally justifiable.
there is no ethical duty to be vegan. so not being vegan is a valid choice. the choice to be vegan is amoral.
Are you saying that morality does not factor into how humans treat animals?
that’s not what I said
You keep making claims without elaborating on them. If you just don’t want to talk about it, that’s cool.
what Ive said is all true. if you disagree, explain why.

i explained my reasoning. it’s not a moral duty. it’s not immoral. it’s amoral.

almost no one does that, whether they are vegan or not
there are three categories: moral duty, amoral, and immoral. if we can’t agree on that, you are not qualified to discuss morality.
