I agree with your analysis, but while I can’t speak for the original commenter, I think their point was probably closer to:

“If we can all have this conversation together, it’s clearly a choice for us.”

I (am not being cute when I say I) truly wish I could talk _with_ my cat. I would ask if she murdered that bug or was operating on instinct. Did she kill for sport, defense, or hunger? Was she just pissed off? I don’t know and she can’t tell me, so I can only assume she’s just doing what cats do.

Among our own species I don’t think that “benefit of the doubt” (?) is defacto transferable.

I hope this makes sense. I am enjoying this conversation in an odd kind of way. I’ve been waiting for news like this for a long time.

Though the article and UKGOV articles are from 2021?

Edit: today my main job was typos
