A legislative move to ban the consumption of dog meat is losing steam as rival parties have yet to reach a consensus over the issue amid fierce opposition from dog meat traders.
OK, so this is literally an appeal to nature. I seriously don’t see why behaviour should get a free pass just because it’s ‘natural,’ except the very natural phenomenon of humans killing each other.
i suppose it depends on whether it benefits people. if a disease started spreading that killed mosquitos with no impact on people, i think that’s amoral (even if i would be personally elated)

a phenomenon being common in nature is a good reason to think it’s amoral.
No it’s not. Disease is a natural phenomenon and is bad.
disease is amoral. e. coli isn’t evil. it’s just a bacteria.
Is disease prevention also amoral?

this isn’t an argument against killing animals.
