Then that is an exception. Just like it is an exception to kill

someone when they are threatening your life. Killing is wrong,

self defence is an exception. Killing animals for our own needs

is wrong, the examples you cited are exceptions.

 

How would you formulate ethical veganism if it is to allow your

examples (boat and Tibet) without them being seen as

exceptions?
