So you believe in rule of the mightiest?

Can you even call yourself a leftist?

Maybe you have a point to make but this isn't it.

    As i said in another comment, the way we treat animals is and should be different from they way we interact with other humans.

    I dont advocate for the rule of the mightiest between humans. For animals, i think we dont have any moral obligation in the way we treat them. Doesnt mean im ok obliterated species or kill rare animal for sport, just that we are ok to eat them.

    I think that way of thinking is problematic. Because you could easily swap "we have moral obligation only towards other humans" with "we have moral obligations only towards people of our own tribe / group". You can freely swap out who is in the protected in-group, and what is okay to do to the out-group as a result.
