There isn’t, but why would I care?

A billion human lives, or some sad trout who have to eat fruit flies instead. For me, it’s an obvious choice.

I just can’t understand the level of smugness it must take to insist that we must force another billion people to die of horrible diseases like malaria, because you want the moral high ground. How do you even tell yourself that killing all those people is the moral high ground?

Yeah, it gets a bit silly real fast. I've never been accused for forcing a billion to die, so thanks for that.
