I guess we tend to judge from a human perspective - its all we know - hence moral standards can be higher than their natural circumstance. Perhaps only fair though if we as humans are the instigators and creator of that world? That in itself is a moral stance..

Human mind is good at filling in the gaps. What we don't know or don't hear, we use whatever we are used to or have been taught to "complete" the picture / story.

We could also claim a lack of direct communication from humans about their suffering in a situation (imagine some kind of torture/enslavement of people of an invaded land) also calls into question their actual suffering. Just because they talk a wierd language the invaders don't understand..

Have to make a judgement somehow because of the lack of direct communication (these is communication of sorts - signs of stress). That is likely going to be a jugement made on the basis of a) the morals of the judge b) the desired outcome (e.g. not to feel bad about things).

An argument arises over the Inuit.....unnecessarily 😉🙂

I mentioned the case of the person I know who doesn't feed her cats meat because "she doesn't like the idea of her cats eating other animals" to my vegan friend today, we both came to the conclusion that this was all about her and nothing to do with the animals.
