What about animals? lol

I’m just pointing out that libertarian philosophy can get complicated when you consider how difficult it is to consider the consequences of your actions. Free to do whatever as long as you don’t hurt others, sounds totally agreeable. But most wouldn’t consider non-human animals as part of ‘others’ or second order effects that can be harmful to ‘others’.

I think as the dominant omnivores on the planet we have a right to kill animals for nutrition, but not a right to inflict egregious or undue suffering. That’s consistent with the non aggression principle in my view.

All systems are complicated. Reality is anarchy everything else is social structures built on top
