to that general kind, that natural kind, right?

Um and uh yeah, but I think that, you know, like cows as such don't have an interest in not having any cow meat consumed, um, however that cow meat is produced, right?

Yeah, that's that's the way that I would want to go.

But that it may be that I have views here about like natural kinds that are just kinda like more metaphysically worded or something than you might want to endorse.

That might be the difference.

I haven't thought a ton about this, but my reaction is that we probably do have some reasons to bring back extinct animals.

Obligation sounds too strong, at least under present condition.

So like under present conditions, again, we're I where we have tens of billions of animals that are suffering horrifically on factory farms.

I think like most of our reasons in relation to how we ought to be

relating to other animals or reasons to try to end that state of affairs.

Right.

And like not so since we're so bad at relating respectfully to other animals right now, I would think like bringing back extinct animals seems like a b a very bad idea under present conditions, under like future conditions that maybe are better, where we've kind of like gotten our act together a bit, then I then yeah, like

Bringing back extinct animals might be a might be a good thing.

I don't know, you know, like variet variety is good.

I so you know, like having more kinds of animals around is better than not.

But yeah, it doesn't strike me that there are super strong reasons here.

But that there are reasons to do this, that seems plausible.

I mean I the the broader point is that we're just really bad at attending to the to the interests and welfare of animals right now.

And so like bringing bringing more animals uh sort of into the fold just doesn't seem like a it should be a priority at the moment.
