HP is a research organization with the goal of abolishing predation through turning predatory species into herbivorous ones

The first academic paper specifically on turning predators into herbivores brill.com/view/journals/…- “Humans are in many ways a monstrous species. But we are also the only species intellectually capable of dismantling the engine of suffering, natural selection, and creating a happy, peaceful civilized biosphere underpinned by gradients of intelligent bliss.” - David Pearce
- If you don’t share the anti-predation view, what’s your strongest argument for keeping predation around?
- Anti-cancer people r so dumb. It’s how nature works
- Vegans (and everyone) should be anti-predation because prey animals do not care that the cause of their suffering is not us; they just care that they suffer
- Saying humans have a right to be protected from predators but non-human animals do not is an example of speciesism
- Prey-mimicking, insentient AI robots powered by self-healing engineered in vitro muscles could help provide animal-friendly food for predators until herbivorization is completed
- The vast majority of humans today do not view predation in the wild as a problem. This situation will dramatically shift this century and then humanity will begin redesigning Earth’s ecosystems.
