> Why is a carrot’s life less important than a rabbit’s?
A rabbit probably ate a lot of carrots, you are better off eating just the carrot directly if you want to reduce the killing :-)
A trolley hurtling down the tracks towards a rabbit, and if you pull a lever it will go on to a different track that kills the same number of carrot plants that the rabbit has already eaten in its lifetime...
And then the rabbit pulls the reverse lever, and the trolley is speeding back towards Elmer Fudd.
