I have recently taken up vegetarianism. I found this quote by John Harris:
"Suppose that tomorrow a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth, beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals. Would they have the right to treat you as you treat the animals you breed, keep and kill for food?" --John Harris (1946- )
I do NOT intend for this to be a discussion of vegetarianism, of extra-terrestrial life, but simply to be a discussion of this hypothetical question. If advanced aliens landed on Earth, and started "taming us" for meat, and slaughtering us and eating us, would it be okay?
