Can open relationships actually work?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Can open relationships actually work?". Your opponent's style: Morpheus

Racism and sexism is a more important issue than speciesism. Animal cruelty is bad but a humans life is more valuable. People who also willingly eat meat, knowing the meat processing, but are 100% arguing for speciesism are being selective.

You're contradicting yourself and you know it. You're saying human lives matter more, then turning around and saying meat-eaters are "selective" for living by that exact principle. That's not hypocrisy on their part, that's consistency. Here's the real problem with your position: if a being can suffer, can feel pain, can want to live, then the species tag doesn't change the moral math. A pig's agony in a factory farm isn't less real because it's not human. You're just comfortable with that suffering, so you've drawn an arbitrary line and called it logic. Either suffering matters or it doesn't. You can't play both sides.
