Capitalism can't dictate morals. Killing pigs and killing elephants is in a similar category. But it's kind of about context. Kinda like when you get a little less sad when an ISIS fighter dies compared wiyou a kid who dies of cancer. Idk what the temple Grandin thing is about. |

I do agree with that.

Yeah, the context being that elephants are glorified by the press, while reporting on mistreatment of pigs (or any farm practices) in the USA is considered a criminal act. [0]
That's the look-the-other-way market agent from up there. The context is also that mentioned mutated set of values.
I don't think the comparison is anywhere close to ISIS.
> Idk what the temple Grandin thing is about.
Well, no one knew you could manage a milk farm with two people, so saying that elephants can't be domesticated is a bit of a stretch.
