> Capitalism can't dictate morals.

I do agree with that.

> Killing pigs and killing elephants is in a similar category. But it's kind of about context.

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.

I agree that they are similarly bad and aggag laws are retarded. It's just that one is already an industry while the other one isn't. I'm in favor of closing the current industry but fundamentally I realize that this will be to go to push through.
