    Does something uncompassionate have to be done to a human in order for it to be inhumane? Couldn’t it also be done to non-human animals/any sentient beings?

      I think I would agree that you could be inhumane to anything that can feel or understand pain or emotion.

        Not by most people’s standards unfortunately… slaughterhouses and farms exist and are labeled “humane” despite both harming and killing animals
