Children and animals are unable to consent. They do not have the capacity to understand the ramifications and they must be protected in this circumstance.

I'm sure that cow would rather partake in a marriage than be slaughtered so you can eat it. But feel free to protect that cow by killing it.

On the real, a marriage is a contract. If you're unable to understand the contract, you can't intelligently enter into it. You're tasked with bringing the cow to the same intellectual level as a human, which is very different from leaving the cow as a cow and eating it.

I've said numerous times that I agree that animals and children can not give consent.
I'm just proposing the counter argument that someone may try to make, that is all. The counter argument is silly and ridiculous - but someone may try to argue for it.
That is why we have laws to legislate this type of issue.
