spot on. utilitarian attitude.

no significant utility from fox-hunting, but significant cruelty. Therefore get rid of it.

Significant utility from eating animals, altho some cruelty. Therefore justifiable.

No significant utility from keeping 'em as pets, but no cruelty either. Therefore allow it.

See, my position is logically consistent, despite your lawyer-like searching for a loophole. And no room there for ridiculous misty-eyed sentimentality about the death of a racing horse.
