New Kitten Exposes Myth of Morality

Morality, by definition, is objective. In contrast to ethics, which admits of relativity.

If something is morally wrong (or right), it is that way NO MATTER WHAT. This is the essence (from the greek ontos) and crux of morality.

So we got a kitten. We have yet to name the little gal but my fave so far is Mojo.

When asked to research the timing of shots and spay for the kitten, I come across:

Obligate Carnivore (insert intense music).

It seems this little gal, and cats like her are obligate carnivores.

In short, cats must eat animal flesh...to survive.

So lets go down a couple of holes:

Holee Shit. Some folks want to stop owls from hunting. And cats from surviving. Some folks just sidestep and say, "oh, animals aren't moral agents. Next issue." Some talk about collective suffering. 

Because morality is a math problem.

At bottom, there is no "no matter what" moment for any moral position. It's a myth. 

Thanks Mojo.
