    We are animals engineered to eat meat. It is natural for humans to do so. Killing an animal has nothing to do with morality. How and why it’s done does

      We are animals who happened to mutate to be able to thrive with and without meat, we’re omnivores.

      If we are animals and killing animals has nothing to do with morality I can kill you with no consequences and without feeling bad yeah?

        Like I said, why you do it and how it’s done matters. What’s your reason for killing me? For this discussion of course.

          Let’s say I thought your corpse would taste good and provide me with sustenance for a while and I killed you painfree and instantly.

            Then that’s not a good reason. “Because it’s good” doesn’t justify the kill. For survival? Sure, I’d give that a pass, even though I’d defend myself. I would understand the situation. And people have done this.

            If you have this “no-kill” stance for animals, you need to have it for everything, including insects. I’m not saying you don’t, because I don’t really know, but I do know that’s often overlooked or ignored.

            A life is a life.

        You are trolling at this point. You simply can’t compare killing for food to murder.

        We are predators by nature, and there is no way you can deny it. The human intelligence has helped us evolve better tools for both hunting and farming.

        We have mutated to be better hunters and predators, apart from being also better at not being one. But the first part will always remain.
