Are we our own worst enemy?

Clearly this is absolutely so.  Consent for sex is an issue?  And no consent is needed to kill 150 millions of animals every day, dehorned and de-nutted without anesthesia, forced bred, anal electroshock, tails docked and ears cut, surgical practice and cosmetic testing, assassinated (er, "euthanized") by rescues and "humane" groups, and so on ad infinitum?  Clearly "consent" is nothing but an artificial claim to create an ethics argument. 

"Consent" as a requirement exists because injury can't be proven.      Once you admit that there is no injury or maybe even some pleasure, all reason for any laws is gone.
