I didn't say they had the same value. I said they had value. Consuming them for hedonistic pleasure is only ethically consistent with the view that animals have effectively zero or even negative intrinsic value.
nothing has intrinsic value
All of your efforts at self-preservation seem to disagree.
intrinsic value implies objectivity, and i cannot be objective about my own wellbeing.
Well your body is just a tool your mind uses to complete tasks right? You can be objective about the tools you use can't you? You could even similarly protect your tools like your mind protects your body if you felt it necessary.
How do you decide what you can be objective about and what you can't?
this is far afield from the discussion and I have no interest in entertaining it. have a nice day
Did you not post "nothing has intrinsic value"?
