        I really don’t want to be arguing a pro-bestiality point here and I have no clue how one would go about the act. But I think a sheep would be able to hurt you pretty good if it wasn’t okay with what is happening, same as a horse for example.

        Consent requires sentience so no animal can consent regardless of power dynamic.

          Hence why veganism is a moral obligation to animals. It’s indefensible to kill or exploit/harm an animal without their consent (which they can’t give), and which clearly isn’t in their best interests

            That’s a stupid argument, just by having sentience doesn’t mean we have any moral obligations to our food sources. There are plenty of incentives to human being’s health and society by reducing meat consumption, why would you choose such a weak reason instead?

            it makes no sense to discuss consent from non-human animals. do you ask plans for consent before cutting them? or doors for consent before opening them and putting your whole body through them?

            Looks like the definition has changed in the last decade, then, because it used to exclude children younger than 5.
