Part 4/6:
One of the most striking aspects discussed in the transcript is the militants’ approach to veganism. Their view categorizes eating meat as equivalent to genocide, equating factory farming and animal slaughter with crimes against nature. This militant stance goes beyond typical ethical concerns, framing the killing of animals as a form of systemic atrocity demanding urgent moral response.
The Zizians apply a form of strict utilitarian rationalism to their vegan beliefs, which means they assess moral actions based on their outcomes and overall suffering alleviated or caused. They interpret the scale of animal death as a moral crisis, demanding aggressive and uncompromising actions to prevent what they see as mass extermination.
