But punishing humans for killing animals isn't a very rational thing to do, is it? Sounds 100% emotional to me, and emotions computers do not have.

I guess if we spew enough of this BS onto the internet, AI could work it from there, but calling that rational doesn't make much sense to me.



It is considered rational because it is meant to motivate people to not kill animals, not punishment for the sake of justice or somesuch.


It's only rational if the point of punishment is deterrence.


Communities are people. They are not definitions.
